Going Back to My Roots (Riche Havens / Songwriter: Lamont Herbert Dozier)

[Johnny-One]

Well I did it! After all the walking and keeping on track of what I was eating I am back in the 13 stone x pounds mark. I hated being 14 stone something. I know the heaviest I have been as an adult is just shy of 15 stone, but I personally felt too heavy at that weight. That is not to say anyone else is too heavy if they are that weight it is just me personally. Never ever compare yourself to other people! There are about 7 billion of us sharing this planet and we are all uniquely beautiful.

Anyway I am now 194 pounds so my next target is to get to 18x pounds.

So this week’s song is, “Going back to my roots.” That is my roots not your roots; my target not your target. You are the most qualified person in the world at being you. No one else can do it.

Zippin' up my boots

Goin' back to my roots

Yeah

To the place of my birth

Back down to earth.

I've been standing in the rain

Drenched and soaked with pain

Tired of short time benefits

And being exposed to the elements.

I'm homeward bound

Got my head turned around.

Zippin' up my boots

Goin' back to my roots

Yeah

To the place of my birth

Back down to earth.

Ain't talkin' 'bout no roots in the land

Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man.

I feel my spirit gettin' old

It's time to recharge my soul

I'm zippin' up my boots

Goin' back to my roots

Yeah

To the place of my birth

Back down to earth.

Zippin' up my boots

Goin' back to my roots.

To the place of my birth

Back down to earth.

Have a great week
