Red Dirt Road (Radio Version)

In the style of

Brooks & Dunn

Lyrics

i was raised off-a
rural route 3
out past where
the blacktop ends

we'd walk to church
on sunday mornin'
race barefoot back
to johnson's fence

that's where
i first saw mary
on that roadside
pickin' blackberries

that summer
i turned a corner
in my soul
down that
red dirt road

it's where i drank
my first beer
it's where i found
jesus
where i wrecked
my first car
i tore it
all to pieces

i learned
the path to heaven
is full of sinners
and believers

learned that
happiness on earth
ain't just for
high achievers
i heard
i've come to know

there's life
at both ends
of that
red dirt road

her daddy
didn't like me much
with my
shackled-up g.t.o.

i'd sneak out
in the
middle of the night
throw rocks
at her
bedroom window

we'd turn out
the headlights
drive by
the moonlight

talk about
what the future
might hold
down that
red dirt road

it's where i drank
my first beer
it's where i found
jesus
where i wrecked
my first car
i tore it
all to pieces

i learned
the path to heaven
is full of sinners
and believers

learned that
happiness on earth
ain't just for
high achievers
i heard
i've come to know

there's life
at both ends
of that
red dirt road

i went out
into the world
and i came back in
i lost mary
oh i got her
back again

and drivin' home
tonight
feels like i found
a long-lost friend

it's where i drank
my first beer
it's where i found
jesus
where i wrecked
my first car
i tore it
all to pieces

i learned
the path to heaven
is full of sinners
and believers

learned that
happiness on earth
ain't just for
high achievers
i heard
i've come to know

there's life
at both ends
of that
red dirt road
