Karaoke Red Dirt Road

I was raised off
Rural Route Three
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walk to Church on sunday mornings
Race barefoot back to 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 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 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 an' believers
Learned that happiness on earth ain't just for high achievers
I've learned I come to know there's life at both ends of that red dirt road
I went out into the world an' I came back in
I lost Mary oh I got her back again
An' drivin' 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 an' believers
Learned that happiness on earth ain't just for high achievers
I've learned I come to know there's life at both ends of that red dirt road
Yes I've learned
I come to know
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road
