Dig Your Roots

Yeah, I grew up ten minutes from the sticks Ten minutes from the beach And there ain't a Bible verse, y'all I ain't heard a preacher preach Mom and Dad up in the bleachers Screaming while I pitch Beating deep on the speakers Finally riding around the town With my best friends, ain't life like a whirlwind One second I'm playing checkers with Grandma Then my world ends I used to hear my granddaddy say Before it's too late You gotta dig your roots 'For the sun comes down Show some love back to your hometown Fall in love, plant some seeds Carve some names in the family tree Raise your kids, love your wife Put God first, just to live your life Hey, I think I'm gonna go And get a little more dirt on my boots You gotta dig your roots Yeah, I'm a long haired, tattooed, feather in the wind Yeah,a good ol' boy, just like my old man Every night when I'm singing I know he's looking down Up there next to PawPaw Got the best seats in the house When I close my eyes I can still hear him say The same thing I'm gonna tell my kids You gotta dig your roots 'For the sun comes down Show some love back to your hometown Fall in love, plant some seeds Carve some names in the family tree Raise your kids, love your wife Put God first, just to live your life Hey, I think I'm gonna go And get a little more dirt on my boots You gotta dig your roots I'm so of proud of where I came from This town is who I am And the way I was raised up Made me a better man I'm proud of where I cam from And damn I love this land And the way that I was raised up Made me a better man You gotta dig your roots 'For the sun comes down Show some love back to your hometown Fall in love, plant some seeds Carve some names in the family tree Raise your kids, love your wife Put God first, just to live your life Hey, I think I'm gonna go And get a little more dirt on my boots You gotta dig your roots
