Dig Your Roots
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics

Yeah, I grew up ten minutes from the sticks, ten minutes from the beach
I grew up in a small rural area, but also close to the beach.

And there ain't a Bible verse, y'all, I ain't heard a preacher preach
I know every Bible verse from hearing it preached in church.

Mom and Dad up in the bleachers, screamin' while I pitch
My parents were always cheering me on from the stands while I played.

B&D up on the speakers while I'm ridin' 'round town
I listen to Brooks & Dunn while driving around town.

With my best friends, ain't life like a whirlwind?
Spending time with friends makes life feel like a whirlwind of good times.

One second I'm playin' checkers with Grandma, then my world ends
Life can change very quickly and unexpectedly.

I used to hear my granddaddy say Before it's too late
My grandfather used to say that you need to do certain things 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)
It's important to connect with your roots by showing love for your hometown, starting a family, and putting God first in your life. Planting seeds, carving out a place in the family tree, and cherishing your loved ones are all part of this process. To truly dig your roots, you have to put in the effort and love to nurture them and make them grow, just like planting something in the ground.

Yeah, I'm a long-haired, tattooed, feather in the wind
I have a non-traditional look with long hair and tattoos and I like to go with the flow.

Yeah, a good old boy, just like my old man
I am a good old boy like my father.

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
I feel like my father is watching me from heaven and that he and my grandfather have the best seats to watch my performances. I can still hear my father's voice in my head, and I want to pass on the same values I learned from him to my own children.

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 am proud of where I came from, and my small town roots are an essential part of my identity. The way I was raised, with my father as a role model, helped shape me into the man I am today.

And damn I love this land (my name's on every street)
I really love this area, and my family's history here is evident by our name appearing on the streets.

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)
To truly be grounded, you need to connect with your roots, show love to your hometown, and pass on your values to your children. Living a fulfilling life means putting God first and cultivating meaningful relationships with those around you. It's time for me to take action, to get out there and get my boots dirty, as I take steps to deepen my roots and make my place in the world.
