[Verse 1]
He's a Cjunior
Star of his hometown Gteam
Got the grades, got the girl, got it all so it Amseems
Those big game lights in his eyes
Never felt so alive, Fso wild, so free
Now the Cfall has come and gone
He's got his Gcountry colours on
Sitting Amthere in the drive with his Fdad
And he says...
[Chorus]
CWhen the stars line on up
And you finally strike Ggold
When the pressure's way too much
But the diamond starts to Amshow
When your prayers get answered
God's plan unFfolds
Now  don't you forget to...
CMake mistakes, lose your way
Get some dirt on your Gboots
Call your mom, write your friends
Ones that were there fAmor you
Remember all of them people
When your dreams come Ftrue
Now don't you forget your AmrootsF  
[Verse 2]
She has seen Chim
Giving his heart to the Ggame
Every night paid the price now he's finally got a Ambreak
Calls home saying 'Mom we've been dreaming 'bout this Fday.'
Tears streaming down his face
FThrough the phone and his momma she says...
[Chorus]
CWhen the stars line on up
And you finally strike Ggold
When the pressure's way too much
But the diamond starts to Amshow
When your prayers get answered
God's plan unFfolds
Now  don't you forget to...
CMake mistakes, lose your way
Get some dirt on your Gboots
Call your mom, write your friends
Ones that were there fAmor you
Remember all of them people
When your dreams come Ftrue
Now don't you forget your AmrootFs
[Bridge]
Oh, now don't you forget your Croots
OhG  
[Chorus]
CWhen the stars line on up
And you finally strike Ggold
When the pressure's way too much
But the diamond starts to Amshow
When your prayers get answered
God's plan unFfolds
Now  don't you forget to...
CMake mistakes, lose your way
Get some dirt on your Gboots
Call your mom, write your friends
Ones that were there fAmor you
Remember all of them people
When your dreams come Ftrue
Now don't you forget your AmrootsF  
Now don't you forget your AmrootsF  
Now don't you forget your Croots

[Verse 1]

He's a junior

Star of his hometown team

Got the grades, got the girl, got it all so it seems

Those big game lights in his eyes

Never felt so alive, so wild, so free

Now the fall has come and gone

He's got his country colours on

Am F

Sitting there in the drive with his dad

And he says...

[Chorus]

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure's way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God's plan unfolds

Now don't you forget to...

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Am F

Now don't you forget your roots

[Verse 2]

She has seen him

Giving his heart to the game

Every night paid the price now he's finally got a break

Calls home saying 'Mom we've been dreaming 'bout this day.'

Tears streaming down his face

Through the phone and his momma she says...

[Chorus]

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure's way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God's plan unfolds

Now don't you forget to...

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Am F

Now don't you forget your roots

[Bridge]

Oh, now don't you forget your roots

[Chorus]

When the stars line on up

And you finally strike gold

When the pressure's way too much

But the diamond starts to show

When your prayers get answered

God's plan unfolds

Now don't you forget to...

Make mistakes, lose your way

Get some dirt on your boots

Call your mom, write your friends

Ones that were there for you

Remember all of them people

When your dreams come true

Am F

Now don't you forget your roots

Am F

Now don't you forget your roots
