Brooks & Dunn - Red Dirt road
Intro F - C - Dm
(verse)
[F]I was raised off route 3, out past [C]where the blacktop ends,
We'[F]d walk to church on Sunday morn
and race [Bb]barefoot back to Johnsons Fence
[F]That's where I first saw Mary,
[C]On that roadside pickin blackberries,
[Dm]that summer I turned a c[Bb]orner in my soul
down that [C]red dirt road[F],
(Chorus)
[F]It's where I drank my first beer,
[C]It's where I found Jesus,
[Dm]Where I wrecked my first car
[Bb]I tore it all to pieces,
[F]I learned the path to heaven,
[C]It's full of sinners and believers,
[Dm]Learned that happiness on earth,
[Bb]Ain't just for high achievers,
[Gm]I've learned, I've come to kn[Am]ow,
There's life [Bb]at both en[C]ds,
That red dirt ro[F]ad,
(verse)
Her daddy didn't like me much,
In my shakled 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,
(go to chorus then to lead,
lead chords are ( F - C - Dm - Bb - F - C - Dm)
then bridge below)
(Bridge)
I [Gm]went out into the w[Am]orld,
And I [Bb]came back in,
[Gm]I lost Ma[Am]ry,
Oh I got[Bb] her back again,
[Gm]And drivin home ton[Am]ight
Feels like I found a [Bb]long lost f[C]riend,
(go to chorus then lead out)
Lead out chords are ( F - C - Dm - Bb)
