[Verse 1]
C
He's a junior
G
Star of his hometown team
Am
Got the grades, got the girl, got it all so it seems
Those big game lights in his eyes
F
Never felt so alive, so wild, so free
C
Now the fall has come and gone
G
He's got his country colours on
Am F
Sitting there in the drive with his dad
And he says...
[Chorus]
C
When the stars line on up
G
And you finally strike gold
When the pressure's way too much
Am
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered
F
God's plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to...
C
Make mistakes, lose your way
G
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom, write your friends
Am
Ones that were there for you
Remember all of them people
F
When your dreams come true
Am F
Now don't you forget your roots
[Verse 2]
C
She has seen him
G
Giving his heart to the game
Am
Every night paid the price now he's finally got a break
F
Calls home saying 'Mom we've been dreaming 'bout this day.'
Tears streaming down his face
F
Through the phone and his momma she says...
[Chorus]
C
When the stars line on up
G
And you finally strike gold
When the pressure's way too much
Am
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered
F
God's plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to...
C
Make mistakes, lose your way
G
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom, write your friends
Am
Ones that were there for you
Remember all of them people
F
When your dreams come true
Am F
Now don't you forget your roots
[Bridge]
C
Oh, now don't you forget your roots
G
Oh
[Chorus]
C
When the stars line on up
G
And you finally strike gold
When the pressure's way too much
Am
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered
F
God's plan unfolds
Now don't you forget to...
C
Make mistakes, lose your way
G
Get some dirt on your boots
Call your mom, write your friends
Am
Ones that were there for you
Remember all of them people
F
When your dreams come true
Am F
Now don't you forget your roots
Am F
Now don't you forget your roots
C
Now don't you forget your roots
