30 thousand feet above The city where I fell in love with you And the fadin concrete skyline Brings an urban lullaby That still rings true When I passed you on the street that day Should've let that red scarf fly away Like any chance I had of keeping you Like the Northern wind a blowin' Yeah my lonely heart is frozen Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love The city lights look like a country sky Like staring at the stars turned upside down I wish I may, I wish I might Find it in your heart to stick around I hate it had to end this way Tomorrow is a brand new day And the chances here at love are precious few Someone's out there waiting For a sweet good timing lady To make you smile like I always wanted to Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love So I fly all night Our memory's, my lullaby that love won't lie If it's love done right You'll be waiting on the other side Arms open wide, if love don't lie Lie We can fly Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love

My first best friend Was a six string Took him with me Everywhere I'd go When I was 18, bought a dodge van Found a drummer and made the road my home Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Every Friday You can find me At dixie tavern Playing with my band We start the show with a round of whiskey We played our hearts out and wished it never end Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home We get 'em singing Don't stop believin' And follow up with a cold beer on a Friday night Always dreaming one day we're playing with All our heroes we cover every night Flying high all our dreams came true You've given me wings and Roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from My roots Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only gives you stronger roots
