Tokyo Rodeo Trails

Grandpa's stories from the old country

Mixed with mama's country songs on the radio

Fields of rice and rows of corn

Learning to sing with an accent all my own

(oh yeah)

Two worlds in these boots I wear

Heritage and heartland everywhere

Singing loud under wide open skies My roots run deep,

my spirit flies

(whoa-oh) Sunday mornings at the temple and church

Learning kanji then riding the range

Family gatherings with both kinds of food

Finding my place in this American frame (hmm)

Two worlds in these boots I wear

Heritage and heartland everywhere

Singing loud under wide open skies

My roots run deep,

my spirit flies

(whoa-oh) Sometimes I wonder

where I belong

But the land

knows my name

in two tongues

Two worlds in these boots I wear

Heritage and heartland everywhere

Singing loud under wide open skies

My roots run deep,

my spirit flies (whoa-oh)

(fading vocal ad-libs)
