Deeper Than A Dirt Road

You can put those skyscrapers up in the air
Build those highways from here to there
You may dam up the streams just as much as you like
But nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

Papaw he taught me how to drive
We’d head on down Route 35
On that old John Deere with the pedal to the floor
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

The best part of my memories are dust clouds in the wind
And those summer days I threw away …
Wish I could go back again
I know it like an old friend, no matter where I go
Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

She broke my heart, really got me down
When she moved away to that other town
But I’ll stay right here as long as I’m alive
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

Not a day goes by that I don’t try
To go down to the river and look up at the sky
It’s where I’m from and it’s where I’ll die
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

The best part of my memories are dust clouds in the wind
And those summer days I threw away
Wish I could go back again
I know it like an old friend, no matter where I go
Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
