This sure ain't that little sawmill town I grew up in, I used to run around In a hand-me-down Chevy This place is high rise heaven And this sure ain't that little Main Street drag With the courthouse square still flying the flag No, it's a six-lane city Long, long way from little bitty Yeah, I'm just out here, chasing these stars (chasing these stars) And sometimes, I swear I'm living on Mars But I grew up on a dirt road, watching that corn grow Turning on a pretty thing parked on a turn row Blowing that Swisher smoke out the window, oh A six pack from the Bi-Lo And I go back every time I get a minute The biggest part of me is in them little city limits Don't matter where I go I damn sure let 'em all know I grew up on a dirt road, a dirt road I grew up on a dirt road, dreaming 'bout making a name And getting out of dodge and the same ol' same Graduate and settle down Man, I was out of that town Now I catch myself rewinding, reminiscing 'Bout a small town girl and mama's fried chicken I can taste it right now (taste it right now) Let me tell you I'm proud That I grew up on a dirt road, watching that corn grow Turning on a pretty thing parked on a turn row Blowing that Swisher smoke out the window, oh A six pack from the Bi-Lo And I go back every time I get a minute The biggest part of me is in them little city limits Don't matter where I go I damn sure let 'em all know I grew up on a dirt road, a dirt road I grew up on a dirt road, a dirt road (a dirt road) Yeah, I'm just out here, chasing these stars (chasing these stars) And sometimes, I swear I'm living on Mars But I grew up on a dirt road, watching that corn grow Turning on a pretty thing parked on a turn row Blowing that Swisher smoke out the window, oh A six pack from the Bi-Lo And I go back every time I get a minute The biggest part of me is in them little city limits Don't matter where I go I damn sure let 'em all know I grew up on a dirt road, a dirt road I grew up on a dirt road, a dirt road (a dirt road)

Me and daddy'd ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet. Old lab would jump out the back and fetch them up. We'd drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial. One little country station was all there was. Checking gates, fixing fence rows – that's how my story goes. If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary. It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory. Tan legs and some Dixie Land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night. I was there, and that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary. I remember when I turned sixteen I got a license and some gasoline. Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down. If wasn't the boys it was me and her by fire in a field or down on the river. Every inch of that county was sacred ground. I wish I knew where that old truck was. If it could talk it could tell on us. If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary. It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory. Tan legs and some Dixie Land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night. I was there, and that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary. It ain't a book underneath my bed; Just a dusty memory lane burned in my head. Tan legs and some Dixie Land delight, ridin' round, windows down feeling right I was there, that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary. Just ride around my little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary.

Slow like the hands on a punch out clock Like a red dirt drive with the head lights off Sixteen sneaking in trying not to get caught Crawling in the through the window That kind of slow like a summer storm rolling in Like Friday night lights kicking off again Like a front porch swing, just swingin' in the wind It's how I talk How I wanna live How I wanna steal all of your kisses And baby I'm tired of driving in the fast lane This rat race is driving me insane So baby tonight, you and I, take our time, get it right Nice and slow Slow like the midnight Marlboro Red We shared on the gate the night we met How that sweet Four Roses whiskey messed, with every word we said It's how I talk How I wanna live How I wanna steal all of your kisses And baby I'm tired of driving in the fast lane This rat race is driving me insane So baby tonight, you and I, take our time, get it right Nice and slow Yeah, nice and slow Slow right through that bedroom door Slow like your red dress hits the floor Slow like I'm going to lay you down Yeah, I'm going to lay you down It's how I talk How I wanna live How I wanna steal all of your kisses And baby I'm tired of driving in the fast lane This rat race is driving me insane So baby tonight, you and I, take our time, get it right Nice and slow Yeah, nice and slow

Baby I've been looking over here For a little while Just staring at that empty chair Right by your side So I thought I'd take a shot and walk on over Try to break a little ice with something colder You look like the kind of girl that just might spin my world Around So I gotta ask you now Where do you see yourself in five beers? Is it you and me hanging right here? When the lights come on, Are you already gone? Are you yelling at the band, "Play one more song!"? I ain't asking 'bout the rest of your life Just gotta know about the rest of your night Is it all a little hazy? Or baby, is it crystal clear? Where do you see yourself, see yourself in five beers? You be texting your friends about us Under the table Catching your little buzz And peeling them labels Will you sneak a kiss, steal my hat, When you're one short of a six pack? Where do you see yourself in five beers? Is it you and me hanging right here? When the lights come on, Are you already gone? Are you yelling at the band, "Play one more song!"? I ain't asking 'bout the rest of your life Just gotta know about the rest of your night Is it all a little hazy? Or baby, is it crystal clear? Where do you see yourself, see yourself in five beers? Ohhh, girl I just gotta know Where this night is going ohhh So, where do you see yourself in five beers? Is it you and me hanging right here? When the lights come on, Are you already gone? Are you yelling at the band, "Play one more song!"? I ain't asking 'bout the rest of your life Just gotta know about the rest of your night Is it all a little hazy? Or baby, is it crystal clear? I know where I see myself, But where do you see yourself, see yourself in five beers? Girl, where do you see yourself in five beers?

Another sunrise shining through a dirty windshield Another highway sign, another thousand miles away from you No more agree to disagree No more future you and me Just more lows than highs, Wasted time, and a handful of memories I could've seen it coming from however many states I am away now, And watch the whole damn thing blow up And drift high into the clouds I should've listened to all my friends, But baby I was pulling for you to win Now it's just broken promises in my head Playing over and over again I can't escape this pain I'm feelin' Didn't wanna have to say I'm leavin' The only chore she gave me was the road And now all I see are the white lines Because you never learned to work Through the hard times I let this fire burn too long Now I'm gone So far gone I told you I was running out of second chances to throw your way And baby when leaving was the smartest choice I chose to stay But you won't remember me tucking you in Brushing the hair out of your face Cuz' tomorrow morning the buzz from The whiskey and the beer has gone away I can't escape this pain I'm feelin' Didn't wanna have to say I'm leavin' The only chore she gave me was the road And now all I see are the white lines Because you never learned to work Through the hard times I let this fire burn too long Now I'm gone So far gone I can't escape this pain I'm feelin' Didn't wanna have to say I'm leavin' The only chore she gave me was the road Now all I see are white lines Because you never learned to work Through the hard times I let this fire burn too long Now I'm gone So far gone

You know you got those looks from your mama Along with that wild side love for the drama You know you got that short fuse from your dad By now when I see it coming Don't know if I should smile or if I should start running Cus your the best and worst I've ever had I know it's gonna end the same It's gonna blow up in my face but... Bombs away Here I come baby, both guns blazing away Bombs away Suicide maybe, but I'm jumping anyway Bombs away Holding you is like holding the trigger I hate the sin but God I love the sinner So it looks like I'm in for one hell of a ride I know you're never gonna change I know I'll go down in flames but Bombs away Here I come baby, both guns blazing away Bombs away Suicide maybe, but I'm jumping anyway Bombs away My heart's made up my mind I'm gonna kiss it all goodbye Bombs away Here I come baby, both guns blazing away Bombs away Suicide maybe, but I'm jumping anyway Bombs away
