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
