~Red Dirt Road~
I was raised off of rural Route 3
out past where the blacktop ends.
We walked to church on Sunday morning.
Race barefoot back to the 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’ve learned 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 a 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’ve learned 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 driving home tonight feels like I’ve
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’ve learned I’ve come to know
there’s life at both ends
of that red dirt road.
