Tracking My Roots by Anders Osborne Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, they say I'm a lonely creature
Even with kids and a wife
That I walk to the tune of a loner
Yeah, I've done it all my life
They accuse me of having an accent
Like it's something bad to have
When I sing, people listen
And sometimes it makes me mad

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm heading out on the ocean
South of the Fujis
I'm going out to Canada
Tracking my roots
I'm tracking my roots

[Verse 2]
I fell in love once in the graveyard
All her kisses stole my soul
I've loved her since the beginning, yeah
And I will till I'm dead and cold
Sometimes I wanna get real drunk
Why I know I'm not suppose to
Yeah, I curse that damn addiction
That took all those years from me and you
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm heading out on the ocean
South of the Fujis
I'm going out to Canada
Tracking my roots
I'm tracking my roots
