Grounded

I've been down a thousand roads But I still hold on to my hometown area code 'Cause the memories made and the lessons learned Keep one hand on the wheel no matter where I turn I'm glad my daddy took my keys when he caught me drinkin' beer And I can't blame the coach who benched my ass my junior year And don't forget the girl that broke my heart and wrecked my plans 'Cause they made me who I am From the red dirt on my boots To the red word Gospel truth I'm tangled in these roots that keep me grounded When I left home, well I knew it all I was gonna tear the world up like a wrecking ball But the world don't care what you think you know Now every time it hits me like a big brick wall I'm glad my daddy took my keys when he caught me drinkin' beer And I can't blame the coach who benched my ass my junior year And don't forget the girl that broke my heart and wrecked my plans 'Cause they made me who I am From the red dirt on my boots To the red word Gospel truth I'm tangled in these roots that keep me grounded I'm grounded Like the tallest pine on top of the Blue Ridge mountains (mountains) And I wouldn't wanna be no other way I'm glad my daddy took my keys when he caught me drinkin' beer And I can't blame the coach who benched my ass my junior year And everyone along the way whoever gave a damn Y'all made me who I am (who I am) From the red dirt on my boots To the red word Gospel truth I'm tangled in these roots that keep me grounded I'll never leave these roots that keep me grounded
