Dig Your Roots Lyrics

I grew up 10 minutes from the sticks
10 minutes from the beach
And there ain't no Bible verse y'all I ain't heard a preacher preach
Mom and Dad up in the the bleachers
Screaming while I pitch
B and D on the speakers while I'm riding around the town with my
Best friends
Ain't life like a whirlwind
One second I'm playing checkers with Grandma
My world ends
I used to hear my
Grandaddy say, before its too late
You gotta dig your roots
Before the sun goes down
Show some love back to your home town
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 going to go and get a little more dirt on my boots
You gotta dig your roots
You dig 'em
You love 'em
You gotta put them in the ground for someone
I'm just lonely here, 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
Look there next to papa got the best seats in the house
When I close my eyes
I can still hear him say
The same thing I'm going to tell my kids
You gotta dig your roots
Before the sun goes down
Show some love back to your home town
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 going to go and get a little more dirt on my boots
You gotta dig your roots
Instrumental D A, G D A
I'm proud of where I come from
(It's every part of me)
That town is who I am
(My name's on every street)
And the way that I was raised up
(Yeah you best believe)
Made me a better man
(Just like my daddy)
I'm proud of where I came from
(It's every part of me)
And damn I love this land
(My name's on every street)
And the way I was raised up
(Yeah you best believe)
Made me a better man
You gotta dig your roots
Before the sun goes down
Show some love back to your home town
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 going to go and get a little more dirt on my boots
Yeah I think I'm going to go and get a little more dirt on my boots
You gotta dig your roots
You dig 'em
You love 'em
You gotta put 'em in the ground for someone
You dig 'em
You love 'em
You gotta put 'em in the ground for someone
