Red Dirt Road Lyrics

I was raised off of old Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin'
Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence

That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned a 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've learned, I've come to know
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road

Her daddy didn't like me much
With 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
Drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down a 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 learned, I've come to know
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road

I went into the world, and I came back in
I lost Mary, oh I got her back again
And driving home tonight feels like I've 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
I've learned, I've come to know
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road
Yes, I've learned, I've come to know
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road
