When you’ve made enough mistakes
When you’re finally outta miles
When you let the anger go, you can rest yr head a while
Even Mercury gets tired
Everyone slows down sometime
It’s a good time to put down roots
It’s about time you put down roots
Are you running from a crime?
Did he blacken up yr eye?
Did yr country go to war, or did you just lose yr way?
Even Kerouac went home
Everyone slows down sometime
It’s a good time to put down roots
It’s about time you put down roots
Even the worst times go by
Every day hits half-light
So let’s all wish for a good, long, sweet life
Everyone slows down sometime
It’s a good time to put down roots
It’s about time you put down roots
