Dig Your Roots

              Em
I grew up ten minutes from the sticks
Ten minutes from the beach
          G
And there ain't a Bible verse y'all
       D
I ain't heard a preacher preach
         Em
Mom and Dad up in the bleachers
                 G
Screaming while I pitch
D
B and D up in the speakers
while I'm ridin' round town with My
Em                                   G
Best friends, ain't life a whirlwind
    D
One second I'm playing checkers with
                        Em
Grandma, and my world ends. I used to
                   G     D
hear my granddaddy say, before Its
too late
