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, screamin' while I pitch
B&D up on the speakers while I'm ridin' 'round town
With my best friends, ain't life like a whirlwind?
One second I'm playin' 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
Yeah, I think I'm gonna 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)
Yeah, I'm a long-haired, tattooed, feather in the wind
Yeah, a good old boy, just like my old man
Every night when I'm singing, I know he's looking down
Up 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 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 your 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 (it's every part of me)
This 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 that I was raised up (yeah, you best believe)
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
(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)
