Louisiana Red Dirt Highway Lyrics

Pulled out the driveway
Passed an old tar paper shack
Standing at her mailbox
An old woman waves as I look back
I'm going to miss my family
And I'll need all the letters that they'll send
It's going to be a long time before I travel doen this red dirt road again
Louisiana Red Dirt Highway
I've been down a million times
Where the tin barns and the pine trees

I'm going to take them with me in my mind
I'm gonna take them to the sea
Where a man could make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even swung off all the clay
The mud drips would make their own designs
And they zig zag for miles
And the one lane bridge that runs across the creek
That I swam in as a child
The saw mill was 30 miles away
And my Daddy brought it wood
Mama done the cooking and the cleaning
And taught us what was good
Louisiana red dirt highway
I've been a million times
Where the tin barns and the pine trees
I'm gonna take them with me in my mind
I'm going to take them to the sea
Where a man can make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even swung off all the clay
Louisiana red dirt highway
I've down a million times
Where the tin barns and the pine trees
I'm gonna to take them with me in my mind
I'm going to take them to the sea
Where a man can make good money so they say
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even swung off all the clay
Hey hey
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even swung off all the clay
