Dig Your Roots

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] You gotta dig your roots 'For 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 Hey, I think I'm gonna go And get a little more dirt on my boots You gotta dig your roots (You dig, you love, you gotta put 'em in the ground for someone) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] You gotta dig your roots 'For 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 Hey, I think I'm gonna go And get a little more dirt on my boots You gotta dig your roots [Bridge] I'm so of proud of where I came from (It's every part of me) This town is who I am (My name's on every street) And the way 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 that I was raised up (Yeah, you best believe) Made me a better man [Chorus] You gotta dig your roots 'For 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 Hey, 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 [Outro] You dig, you love, you gotta put 'em in the ground for someone You dig, you love, you gotta put 'em in the ground for someone
