You know I like the neighborhood men
If you could stay, I'll never do you wrong
You know the corner where we stood then
Wish I could say you won't be gone for long
Oh, you wanted more taste of bliss
Hey ya, you wanted more
Can I be saved? Can I be yours?
Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours
Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours
Oh Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours

I spent my life away from this town
I've traveled far, I traveled fast alone
A car is coming, time to flag down
I know I said I won't be gone for long
Oh, I wanted more taste of bliss
Hey ya, I wanted more
Can I be saved? Can I be yours?
Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours
Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours
Oh Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours
Joy, I'm gonna find a way to my roots
Back to my roots, and I'll be yours

In some ways I was free
There were no chains
In this wild world, there is much more to see
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
My past is written in the stone
