A thousand kisses flying home to you;
A thousand kisses, two thousand miles from view,
Root love...
A hotel room don't make it,
When I'm thinking about your face.
Cheap experience don't shake it,
Thinking about my place,
Root love, root love.
And that Harvey's banging walls again
And the paint job's wearing thin.
Got to feeling mean again,
Like momma drinking gin,
Root love..
The bar looks so inviting:
Maybe one more Fanny Mae.
Maybe one more happy hour,
And another day away from
Root love...
Little boy blue lost again,
Telling others sorry tales.
Just one more sinking sunrise,
And two more crimson sails
And root love...
Well a hotel just don't make it,
When I'm thinking about your face.
Cheap experience don't shake it,
Thinking about my place.
Root love..
A thousand kisses, root love.
