Red Dirt Road Songtext

von Brooks & Dunn

I was raised off of Rue Route Three
Out past where the black top ends
We'd walk to church on sunday mornin'
Race bare foot back to Johnson's fairs
Thats where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road

Thats 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 come to know there's life important
On that red dirt road

Her daddy didn't like me much
In my shackled up GTO
I'd sneek 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

Thats 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 come to know there's life important
On that red dirt road

I went out into the world
And I came back in
I lost Mary, o I got her back again
Driving home at night
Feels like I found a long lost friend

Thats 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 come to know there's life important
On that red dirt road
