(Intro) D G Bm7 G A
(Verse 1)
D
You get your hands in it
Plant your roots in it
G Bm7 G A
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it (dirt)
D
You write her name on it
Spin your tires on it
G
Build your corn field, whiskey
Bm7
Bonfires on it (dirt)
G A
You bet your life on it

(Chorus)
D
Its that elm shade
Red roads clay you grew up on
G
That plowed up ground
That your dad
Damned his luck on
A
That post game party field
You circled up on
Bm7
And when it rains
A
You get stuck on
D
Drift a cloud back
Behind county roads
That you run up
G
The mud on her jeans
That she peeled off
And hung up
A
Her blue eyed
Summer time smile
Bm7 G
Looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build
Bm7
A 10 percent down
A D
White picket fence house on this dirt

(Verse 2)
D
You?ve mixed some sweat with it
Taken a shovel to it
G
You?ve stuck some crosses and some painted
Bm7
Goal posts through it (dirt)
G
You know you came from it (dirt)
A
And some day you?ll return to

(Chorus)
D
This elm shade
Red roads clay you grew up on
G
That plowed up ground
That your dad
Damned his luck on
A
That post game party field
You circled up on
Bm7
And when it rains
A
You get stuck on
D
Drift a cloud back
Behind county roads
That you run up
G
The mud on her jeans
That she peeled off
And hung up
A
Her blue eyed
Summer time smile
Bm7 G
Looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build
Bm7
A 10 percent down

White picket fence house on this dirt

Capo 2

(Intro)
Am, G, F, C

(Opening Chorus)
Am G
Yeah, I’m chillin’ on a dirt road,
F C
Laid back swervin’ like I’m George Jones.
Am G
Smoke rollin’ out the window,
F C
An’ ice cold beer sittin’ in the console.
Am G
Memory lane up in the headlights,
F C
It’s got me reminiscing on them good times.
Am G
I’m turning off of real life, drivin’ that’s right,
F C
I’m hittin’ easy street on mud tires.

(Verse 1)
Am G
Back in the day pop’s farm was the place to go.

Load the truck up, hit the dirt road.
F C
Jump the barbwire, spread the word.

Light the bonfire, then call the girls.
Am G
The king in the can and the Marlboro man.

Jack and gin were a few good men.
F C
Where ya learned how to kiss and cuss and fight too.

Better watch out for the boys in blue.
Am G
And all this small town he said, she said,

Ain’t it funny how rumors spread.
F C
Like I know something ya’ll don’t know,

Man that talk is gettin’ old.
Am G
Ya better mind your business, man, watch your mouth,

Before I have to knock that loud mouth out.
F C
I’m tired of talkin, man, ya’ll ain’t listenin’,

Them old dirt roads is what ya’ll missin’.

(Chorus)
Am G
I’m chillin’ on a dirt road.
F C
Laid back swervin’ like I’m George Jones.
Am G
Smoke rollin’ out the window,
F C
An’ ice cold beer sittin’ in the console.
Am G
Memory lane up in the headlights,
F C
It’s got me reminiscing on them good times.
Am G
I’m turning off of real life, drivin’ that’s right,
F C
I’m hittin’ easy street on mud tires.

(Verse 2)
Am G
I sit back and think about them good ole days.

The way we were raised, and our southern ways,
F C
And we like cornbread, and biscuits,

And if it’s broke round here we fix it.
Am G
I can take ya’ll where ya need to go,

Down to my hood, back in them woods.
F C
We do it different ’round here, that’s right,

But we sure do it good, and we do it all night.
Am G
See, if you really wanna know how it feels,

To get off the road with trucks and four wheels,
F C
Jump on in, and man, tell your friends,

We’ll raise some hell where the blacktop ends.

(Chorus)
Am G
I’m chillin’ on a dirt road.
F C
Laid back swervin’ like I’m George Jones.
Am G
Smoke rollin’ out the window,
F C
An’ ice cold beer sittin’ in the console.
Am G
Memory lane up in the headlights,
F C
It’s got me reminiscing on them good times.
Am G
I’m turning off of real life, drivin’ that’s right,
F C
I’m hittin’ easy street on mud tires.

Thats right.

(Repeat Opening Chorus for the last time thru)
