[00:14.20]I was raised off of old Route 3
[00:17.57]Out past where the blacktop ends
[00:19.38]
[00:21.57]We'd walked to church on Sunday morning
[00:23.62]
[00:24.62]Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence
[00:27.06]
[00:29.75]That's where I first saw Mary
[00:31.43]
[00:32.68]On that roadside pickin' blackberries
[00:34.31]
[00:36.36]That summer I turned a corner in my soul
[00:39.73]
[00:40.48]Down that red dirt road
[00:42.24]
[00:43.91]It's where I drank my first beer
[00:45.85]
[00:46.72]It's where I found Jesus
[00:48.84]
[00:50.91]Where I wrecked my first car
[00:53.15]I tore it all to pieces
[00:55.09]
[00:57.95]I learned the path to heaven is full of
[01:01.26]sinners and believers
[01:02.51]
[01:04.38]Learned that happiness on earth
[01:06.07]
[01:07.01]ain't just for high achievers
[01:09.37]
[01:10.56]I've learned I've come to know
[01:13.87]There's life at both ends
[01:16.74]Of that red dirt road
[01:18.24]
[01:24.97]Her daddy didn't like me much
[01:26.72]
[01:28.09]With my shackled up GTO
[01:29.90]
[01:31.97]I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
[01:35.32]Throw rocks at her bedroom window
[01:36.87]
[01:40.93]We'd turn out the headlights
[01:42.31]
[01:44.30]Drive by the moonlight
[01:45.43]
[01:46.80]Talk about what the future might hold
[01:49.67]
[01:51.04]Down a red dirt road
[01:53.04]
[01:54.72]It's where I drank my first beer
[01:57.30]
[01:58.05]It's where I found Jesus
[01:59.42]
[02:01.48]Where I wrecked my first car
[02:03.73]I tore it all to pieces
[02:05.54]
[02:08.71]I learned the path to heaven is full of
[02:11.80]sinners and believers
[02:12.66]
[02:14.97]Learned that happiness on earth
[02:16.72]
[02:17.61]ain't just for high achievers
[02:19.23]
[02:21.10]I've learned I've come to know
[02:23.29]
[02:24.22]There's life at both ends
[02:26.22]
[02:27.09]Of that red dirt road
[02:28.53]
[02:42.45]I went out into the world, and I came back in
[02:47.32]
[02:49.50]I lost Mary, oh I got her back again
[02:54.49]
[02:57.11]And driving home tonight feels like
[02:59.70]I've found a long lost friend
[03:02.03]
[03:06.77]It's where I drank my first beer
[03:08.77]
[03:10.39]It's where I found Jesus
[03:11.76]
[03:13.82]Where I wrecked my first car
[03:16.00]I tore it all to pieces
[03:17.84]
[03:20.22]I learned the path to heaven is full of
[03:24.29]sinners and believers
[03:25.47]
[03:27.28]Learned that happiness on earth
[03:28.78]
[03:29.90]ain't just for high achievers
[03:31.65]
[03:33.46]I've learned I've come to know
[03:35.83]
[03:36.58]There's life at both ends
[03:38.20]
[03:39.39]Of that red dirt road
[03:40.89]
[03:47.03]I've learned I've come to know
[03:49.72]
[03:50.59]There's life at both ends
[03:53.71]Of that red dirt road
