A thousand kisses flying home to you
A thousand kisses, two thousand miles from view
My root love
A hotel room don't make it
When I'm thinkin' about your face
Cheap experience don't shake it
Thinkin' about my place
Root love, root love
And that Harvey's bangin' walls again
And the paint job's wearin' thin
Got to feelin' mean again
Like momma drinkin' gin
Root love
The bar looks so invitin'
Maybe one more Fanny Mae
Maybe one more happy hour
And another day away
From root love
Little boy blue lost again
Tellin' others sorry tales
Just one more sinkin' sunrise
And two more crimson sails
And root love
Well, a hotel just don't make it
When I'm thinkin' about your face
Cheap experience don't shake it
And I'm thinkin' about my place
Root love
A thousand kisses, root love
