Roots by Connor Price Lyrics
[Chorus]
The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
[Verse 1]
Markham Ontario, the first place I call home
905, that's what I dial when I call home
My dad picking up the phone, ask him how it's going
Same old, no complain, he's as glad it's not snowing
That means the golf course is open, that's his home
Memories on fairways with him, I really miss those
Canadian boy got letters in his zip code
Winter cold, no watch needed to keep the wrist frozen
Got me thinking 'bout the early days
First time I learned to skate, first funeral when Uncle Charlie met the pearling gates
Days we don't worry things, time moves so slow
Months felt way longer than 30 days
Instead of scrolling phones I was turning pages
Instead of burning bridges I was burning daylight
When late nights were great nights
That was way before I left the nest and had to take flight
It's home where you start, or it 's home where you are right now
Is home a place, or is home a state of mind?
Only one way to find out, so I had to fly out
[Chorus]
The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
[Verse 2]
Los Angeles my second home
First time I visit as a kid, I was like 10 or so
Child actor working, hoping maybe I was next to blow
Knowing that one day I'll have to make the move to get it going
'Cause back home there's only so far that I could take it to
Fast forward, few years, and then we make the move
[Chorus]
The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
[Verse 3]
[Chorus]
The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
[Verse 1]
Markham Ontario, the first place I call home
905, that's what I dial when I call home
My dad picking up the phone, ask him how it's going
Same old, no complain, he's as glad it's not snowing
That means the golf course is open, that's his home
Memories on fairways with him, I really miss those

The city that I'm from, it was fun
We were young and dumb now we're all grown up
The city that I'm from, I miss the city that I'm from
