Red Dirt Road - Brooks & Dunn

I was raised off of Rural Route 3 Out past where the blacktop ends We'd walk to church on Sunday morning And race barefoot back to Johnson's fence That's where I first saw Mary On that roadside pickin' blackberries That summer I turned the corner in my soul Down that red dirt road Her daddy didn't like me much In my shackled up GTO I'd sneak out in the middle of the night Throw rocks at her bedroom window 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'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 It 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, oh, I learned I've come to know there's life at both ends Oh, and I've come to know there's life at both ends Of that red dirt road Y'all give it up for my heroes up here on stage Make some noise for Brooks & Dunn, would ya?

I need to lean on a truck with five old friends Tell old lies and then tell 'em again Ride 33 'til it hits the river Throw cans in the bed 'til the moon's just a sliver Wanna see my name on a dive bar wall Where the ceilings ain't, but the beers are tall There's something 'bout a city like this Makes me miss what I grew up with Red necks, red letters, red dirt One light, one bar, one church Where the Lord gets thanked and the shine gets drank While an outback brush pile burns Yeah, I've been away, way too long But tonight I'm headed back home 'Cause when I need to find me There's only three things that'll work Red necks, red letters, red dirt I need to hear mama pray 'til the rolls get cold For them hometown folks that she says I know My soul's a little dirty 'cause my boots are too clean It's been too long since I've seen Red necks, red letters, red dirt One light, one bar, one church Where the Lord gets thanked and the shine gets drank While an outback brush pile burns Yeah, I've been away, way too long But tonight I'm headed back home 'Cause when I need to find me There's only three things that'll work Red necks, red letters, red dirt Red necks, red letters, red dirt, oh Yeah, I bet by now they're missin' me So I ain't stopping 'til I see Red necks, red letters, red dirt One light, one bar, one church Where the Lord gets thanked and the shine gets drank While an outback brush pile burns Yeah, I've been away, way too long But tonight I'm headed back home 'Cause when I need to find me There's only three things that'll work Red necks, red letters, red dirt, oh Red necks, red letters, red dirt Red necks, red letters, red dirt

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)

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'? In the lane, snow is glistenin' A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No, man" But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we made Walkin' in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman 'Til the little buckaroos knock him down When it snows (when it snows) And it ain't thrillin' Though your nose gets a chillin' We'll frolic and play the cowboy way Walkin' in a winter wonderland Walkin' (walkin', wlkin') In a winter wonderland
