Red Dirt Road Lyrics 

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.

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 heard) 

I've come to know there's life at both ends 

Of 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 

Repeat 

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 heard) 

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 

Repeat 

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 heard) 

I've come to know there's life at both ends 

Of that red dirt road.
