Whoa, whoa, yeah 
 
[Chorus] 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
The ones who made you 
The ones who brought you here 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Whoa, yeah 
 
[Verse #1] 
So Johnny was a good man 
Armed with the power of his homeland 
And with his boots laced tight and a ticket in his hand 
Never to return home again 
So he lost what he knows and what all is right 
For a broken world and a world of lies 
But the days were numbered, relationships suffered 
He lost the faith of all those who mattered so 
 
[Chorus] 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
The ones who made you 
The ones who brought you here 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Whoa 
 
[Verse #2] 
So Jessie thought that she was all that 
Thought she was heading on the right track 
Left her mates at the gate as she walked away 
Ooh, never to look back again 
So she lost what she knows and what all is right 
For a brand new image and a world of lies 
But the days were numbered, relationships suffered 
She lost the faith of all those who mattered so 
 
[Chorus] 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
The ones who made you 
The ones who brought you here 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Whoa, yeah 
 
[Instrumental] 
 
Whoa, whoa, yeah 
 
[Chorus] 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend 
The ones who made you 
The ones who brought you here 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Don't forget your family, yeah 
Don't forget your roots, my friend, yeah 
Whoa, yeah.
