*LYRICS - No Roots* ------------ I like digging holes and Hiding things inside them When I grow old I hope I won't forget to find them 'Cause I've got memories and Travel like gypsies in the night I build a home and wait for Someone to tear it down Then pack it up in boxes Head for the next town running 'Cause I've got memories and Travel like gypsies in the night And a thousand times I've seen this road A thousand times I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2] I like standing still But that's just a wishful plan Ask me where I come from I'll say a different land But I've got memories and Travel like gypsies in the night I count gates and numbers Then play the guessing game It's just the place that changes The rest is still the same But I've got memories and Travel like gypsies in the night And a thousand times I've seen this road A thousand times I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots [x2] I like digging holes Hiding things inside them When I grow old I won't forget to find them [x2] I've got no roots I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no roots For my home was never on the ground I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots I've got no ro-o-o-o-o-ots Album: Live Sessions Vol 01

Flannel shirts, blue jeans, one mic, no flashing lights, no smoke, no leaping across the stage, just flat out pure talent! That's the Petersens, and that's why we love them!

A day without the Petersen's would be a sad for me. I literally listen to your music off and on all day with You Tube and Alexa. There are no words to express my gratitude for the enlightenment you bring to this 79-year-old man. Thanks, and God bless.

I like how Ellen and Katie seems so proud of her sister when they look at her.

WOW!!!!!! I knew Julieanne was a STAR! This is an amazing track - great job by everyone.

Emmett Franz is an exceptional dobroist! I really like how he tears aggressively into his solo here, and I love what he does in the lower register of his solo (if that's how to describe it). The latter strikes a balance between his ability to be subtle and nuanced while introducing a hint of controlled chaos. It's very cool.

I love the looks of pride on everyone's faces when another is taking the front or soloing. GREAT band!

Just love how proud your sister looks at you !

Jerry Douglas may be the greatest dobro (American resonator guitar) player of all time but Emmett is going to catch him sooner or later. And this song was a perfect pick for little sister's voice. Thanks, Petersens, for the joy you are bringing; wading through all the KZread offerings brightens the day.

I love this group - the sound, the looks, the smiles, Katie, the songs - but Julianne is a pure joy to watch. I can't stop smiling while watching her.

I absolutely LOOOOOOVE the retro audio quality from a single mic - sounds incredibly intimate and old school. I tell you man, if 3 daughters of Eve can sing like this - I can't wait to hear them angels.

Awesome. Best family bluegrass band on the planet.

That bassline is insane! 👍

Holy moly, I don't know how these three ladies each have such great unique voices. You all are fantastic!

I like all of their smiles when they knew they nailed that opening.

I love seeing little sister on the mic. Keep encouraging her! Another few years she'll be the star! I like listening to this on quality headphones, so I can hear the bass. Just have to say, "Get it Mama!"

I love the arrangement on this piece. The girls' harmonies on the bridge are just perfect and Emmett's Dobro chops are top notch. On one hand it's hard to believe Emmett's not a full time studio and tour musician but on the other hand he fits so perfectly in this group it's hard to imagine these songs without him.

This song has been stuck in my head for the last three days now! 😃 Love the unique lead vocal, the harmonies, and the driving instrumentation behind it all! 💚

If you like Miss Julianne Petersen's performance here you simply MUST hear the track 'Wade In The Water' on their new album! Just wonderful!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I really hope they make a video of that song soon😊😊

This is absolutely unbelievable. I only came across your music last night and can't stop watching your videos and hearing what you create. It's phenomenal.

Great Voice + @ 2:59 Dobro Slide Guitar Solo. This One Is Very Entertaining!!!

This is positive energy coming through as pure sound that heals the soul.

Finally a family that deserves the respect and fame for its true, beauty, talent and grit.... unlike the Kardashians and such. Love and respect.

Well most of the other videos she's been kind of in the background but I hope she's more out front from now on because she is extremely cool.... And extremely cute.

I Love this version of this song!!! Julianne just Nails it and Emmitt's solo is tremendous. I rewatch this video regularly. Thanks 💕

This version of the song is worthy of the original, and even surpasses in emotions.

Joe York G-R-R-R-EAT Job Guys and Gals!!! Julianne looks and sounds like she is ready for stardom! Incidentally, I requested 'Fields of Gold' after it was cut from Christmas show and (BTW Matt, I am Scot-Irish) because I love Julianne voice. Keep smiling Folks, it's contagious!
