Her Mom and Dad
And she flew
She said, I know they're thinking
I'm just a wild thing
Just cause you got roots
Doesn't mean you can't have wings
So she flies
Soaring where she's never been
Reaching out for life
Grabbing all she can take in
And she flies
Like an eagle on the wind
Just cause you got roots
Doesn't mean you can't have wings
She moved to Dallas, then Frisco Bay
Spent a year in Denver, wound up in L.A.
Where she met a guy who took her breath away
And said, I know they're thinking
That I do
They had a daughter late next fall
Took a trip back home to show her to mom
But her mama said, I've seen it all
She acts just like you
Rose, when she grows up
Remember one thing
Just cause she's got roots
Doesn't mean she can't have wings
So she flies
Soaring where she's never been
Reaching out for life
Grabbing all she can take in
And she flies
Like an eagle on the wind
Just cause you got roots
Doesn't mean you can't have wings
So she flies
So she flies
Soaring where she's never been
Reaching out for life
Grabbing all she can take in
And she flies
Like an eagle on the wind
Just cause you got roots
Doesn't mean you can't have wings
Her mom and dad moved to town in L.A.
They settled down like most around here
Bought a little ground and planted roots
To provided for the wild
