[Intro] Oh, how I love my dirt road, How I’ve always loved my dirt road…. I’d never want to see it paved…. Not an inch of that dirt road looks the same…. [verse 1] Canopy of green overhangs the street, Leaves flutter amidst the summer heat, Moss covered rocks and fisher cats, Deer wander along on well worn paths, Sunlit prisms on a rippling stream, Father and son on an old ATV, Determination made this road, Found our home among this crushed stone…. [Pre-chorus] Dirt roads make up our life…. Ain’t no county highway…. Noooo….Not without a fight…. [Chorus] Oh, how I love my dirt road, How I’ve always loved my dirt road…. I’d never want to see it paved Not an inch of that dirt road looks the same I don’t want hot pavement and the smell of tar That erases every piece of what we are [stripped back] So I’ll leave it dirt and you stay off it, Just forget you ever saw it…. [verse 2] Fresh rainstorm brings the woods alive, Kids catch fireflies along the roadside, Mama’s outside hanging clothes, Neighborhood children play on their own, Papa’s out back on his John Deere, Sweatin’ in the sun, grinnin’ ear to ear. Shepard dog watches over the kids, Free to roam these quiet roads, What a place to call home…. [Pre-chorus] Dirt roads make up our life…. Ain’t no county highway…. Noooo….Not without a fight…. [Chorus] Oh, how I love my dirt road, How I’ve always loved my dirt road…. I’d never want to see it paved Not an inch of that dirt road looks the same I don’t want hot pavement and the smell of tar That erases every piece of what we are [stripped back] So I’ll leave it dirt and you stay off it, Just forget you ever saw it…. [Verse 3] I love how the dust rises and settles when it’s dry How the mud can take your car for a ride That all winter the road is covered with snow And the whole world becomes slow How you memorize its bends Trace them in your mind again and again It’s just not the same….with pavement…. [Bridge] Oh, how I love my dirt road, How I’ve always loved my dirt road…. Where memories are built differently And the world has more beauty Then a paved busy street There’s something special There’s something unique Even with all its potential, Dirt, is what it wants to be— [Final Chorus] Oh, how I love my dirt road…. How I’ve always loved my dirt road…. I’d never want to see it paved Not an inch of that dirt road looks the same I don’t want hot pavement and the smell of tar That erases every piece of what we are [stripped back] So I’ll leave it dirt and you stay off it, Just forget you ever saw it…. Yeah, I’ll leave it dirt and you stay off it, Just forget you ever saw it….
