Puttin' New Roots Down

Shenandoah is an American country music group founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 by Marty Raybon (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Ralph Ezell (bass guitar, backing vocals), Stan Thorn (keyboards, backing vocals), Jim Seales (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Mike McGuire (drums, background vocals). Thorn and Ezell left the band in the mid-1990s, with Rocky Thacker taking over on bass guitar; Keyboardist Stan Munsey joined the line up in 1995. The band split up in 1997 after Raybon left. Seals, Munsey and McGuire reformed the band in 2000 with lead singer Brent Lamb, who was in turn replaced by Curtis Wright and then by Jimmy Yeary. Ezell rejoined in the early 2000s, and after his 2007 death, he was replaced by Mike Folsom. more »

OH, I'VE BEEN CALLED A ‘RAMBLER', I'VE BEEN CALLED A ‘ROGUE'
A LONESOME HIGHWAY TRAVLER, ALWAYS ON THE ROAD
I'VE FELT THE STING OF THE WINTER WIND, TURNED MY COLLAR TO THE COLD
AND I'VE WADED IN WARM WATERS ON THE GULF OF MEXICO

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED MY FREEDOM OF BEING ON MY OWN
I'D LOVE ‘EM AND I'D LEAVE ‘EM, BUT THEN YOU CAME ALONG
YOU'VE CHANGED MY WAY OF THINKING, YOU TURNED ME RIGHT AROUND
NOW MY MIND'S ON YOU BABY, AND I'M PUTTIN' NEW ROOTS DOWN

CHORUS
I'M PUTTIN' NEW ROOTS DOWN, DEEP DOWN IN THE GROUND
I WANNA RAISE SOME KIDS INSTEAD OF RAISING CAINE
WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME, I LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNDS
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I'M PUTTIN' NEW ROOTS DOWN

SOLO

OH, SOME SAY I'M A ‘DRIFTER', SAY I'M A ‘ROLLING STONE'
BUT NOW THAT I'M CALLED ‘DADDY', I'VE LOST THE URGE TO ROAM
I'D HAVE TO SAY IT MAKES MY DAY WHEN WE LAY DOWN AT NIGHT
WHEN YOU WRAP BOTH ARMS AROUND ME, YOU KEEP ME SATISFIED

CHORUS
