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
He's sittin' there in the drive with his dad and he says
When the stars line on up and you finally strike gold
When the pressures way too much
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered Gods 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 the little people when your dreams come true
Now don't you forget your roots
She has seen him
Givin' his heart to the game
Every night paid the price now he's finally got his break
Calls home saying, "Mom we've been
Dreaming bout this day"
Tears streaming down his face through the phone and his mama she says
When the stars line on up and you finally strike gold
When the pressures way too much
But the diamond starts to show
When your prayers get answered gods 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 the little people when your dreams come true
Now don't you forget your roots
