DFour year's old Gmy birthday, AI opened presents, Date some cake
I took my Tonka sGtraight outside to pAlay in dDirt.
Six years old, Ghard line drive, Athat ball just Dsailed on by 
'Cause I was busy Gwriting that name of Amine in Ddirt.
[Chorus]
It was Gmy first love, Agood as gold, Dheaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
GMama should have bought all my Aclothes in brown,D'cause I'd turn 'em that color anyhow
In beGtween the car and the front steps of that Achurch was dirt
[Inst.]  
D G A D
Turned sixteen, bought a GChevrolet, Afour wheel drive, what a Dhappy day
So even if it Grained I could Aplay in Ddirt
Couple years later, Gwouldn't you know, AI lost my heart at the Drodeo
She fell off her horse and was Gcovered head to Atoe in Ddirt
[Chorus]
It was Gmy first love, Agood as gold, Dheaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
It's the Greason I'm out here Atilling this land and that Drodeo queen's got a ring on her hand
I don't Gknow where I'd be if it Aweren't for dirt
[Inst.]

Well, GI ain't afraid of Agrowing old, 'cause Dwhen I die I know where I'll go
GThere'll be no need to Acry for me, DI won't need your sympathy
When they Gcover me up with six feet of Aearth, it's just dirt

[Intro]

D G A D

Four year's old my birthday, I opened presents, ate some cake

G A D

I took my Tonka straight outside to play in dirt.

G A D

Six years old, hard line drive, that ball just sailed on by

G A D

'Cause I was busy writing that name of mine in dirt.

[Chorus]

G A D

It was my first love, good as gold, heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole

G A D

Mama should have bought all my clothes in brown,'cause I'd turn 'em that color anyhow

G A

In between the car and the front steps of that church was dirt

[Inst.]

D G A D

G A D

Turned sixteen, bought a Chevrolet, four wheel drive, what a happy day

G A D

So even if it rained I could play in dirt

G A D

Couple years later, wouldn't you know, I lost my heart at the rodeo

G A D

She fell off her horse and was covered head to toe in dirt

[Chorus]

G A D

It was my first love, good as gold, heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole

G A D

It's the reason I'm out here tilling this land and that rodeo queen's got a ring on her hand

G A

I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for dirt

[Inst.]

G G A A D D

G A D

Well, I ain't afraid of growing old, 'cause when I die I know where I'll go

G A D

There'll be no need to cry for me, I won't need your sympathy

G A

When they cover me up with six feet of earth, it's just dirt

[Outro]
