Red Dirt Road - with Cody Johnson

Lyrics

I was raised off of rural route three
 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
 We'd turn out the headlights
 And 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 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 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, I've learned, I've come to know there's life at both ends
 Of that red dirt road
