Red Dirt Road Capo 5
[Intro]
Cmaj G/B Am7 Cmaj G/B Am7
[Verse 1]
Cmaj G/B
I was raised off route 3, out past where the blacktop ends,
Cmaj F
We'd walk to church on Sunday morn, and race barefoot back to Johnsons Fence
Cmaj G/B
That's where I first saw Mary, on that roadside picking blackberries,
Am7 F G Cmaj
That summer I turned a corner in my soul, down that red dirt road,
[Chorus]
Cmaj G/B
It's where I drank my first beer, it's where I found Jesus,
Am7 F
Where I wrecked my first car, I tore it all to pieces,
Cmaj G/B
I learned the path to heaven, it's full of sinners and believers,
Am7 F
Learned that happiness on earth, ain't just for high achievers,
Dm Em F G Cmaj G/B Am7 F
I've learned, I've come to know, there's life at both ends of that red dirt road,
[Verse 2]
Cmaj G/B
Her daddy didn't like me much, In my shackled up GTO,
Cmaj F
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night, Throw rocks at her bedroom window,
Cmaj G/B
We'd turn out the headlights, Drive by the moonlight,
Am7 F G Cmaj
Talk about what the future might hold, Down that red dirt road,
[Chorus]
Cmaj G/B
It's where I drank my first beer, it's where I found Jesus,
Am7 F
Where I wrecked my first car, I tore it all to pieces,
Cmaj G/B
I learned the path to heaven, it's full of sinners and believers,
Am7 F
Learned that happiness on earth, ain't just for high achievers,
Dm Em F G Cmaj G/B Am7 F Cmaj G/B Am7
I've learned, I've come to know, there's life at both ends of that red dirt road,
[Bridge]
Dm Em F
I went out into the world, And I came back in,
Dm Em F
I lost Mary, Oh I got her back again
Dm Em F G
And driving home tonight, Feels like I found a long lost friend,
[Chorus]
Cmaj G/B
It's where I drank my first beer, it's where I found Jesus,
Am7 F
Where I wrecked my first car, I tore it all to pieces,
Cmaj G/B
I learned the path to heaven, it's full of sinners and believers,
Am7 F
Learned that happiness on earth, ain't just for high achievers,
Dm Em F G Cmaj G/B
I've learned, I've come to know, there's life at both ends of that red dirt road,
[Tag]
Dm Em F G Cmaj G/B Am7 F
I've learned, I've come to know, there's life at both ends of that red dirt road,
[Outro]
Cmaj G/B Am7 F Cmaj
