Dig Your Roots

Yeah, I grew up 10 minutes from the sticks
10 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
B&D up on the speakers finally riding around 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
'Fore the sun goes 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
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
'Fore the sun goes 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 you life
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go and get a little more dirt on my boots
You gotta dig your roots

I'm so proud of where I came from
This town is who I am
And the way that I was raised up, made me a better man
I'm proud of where I came from
Man I love this land
And the way that I was raised up, made me a better man

You gotta dig your roots
'Fore the sun goes 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
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go and get a little more dirt on my boots
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go and get a little more dirt on my boots
You gotta dig your roots
