red dirt road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]raised off
of rural route three
Out past [A]where the
[Bm]blacktop ends
We′d walk to church on
Sunday morning
And race [G]barefoot back to Johnson's
[D]fence
That′s where I first saw Mary
On that road[A]side [D]pickin' [A]blackberries
[Bm]That summer I turned
[D]the corner in [G]my soul
[A]Down that [D]red [A]dirt road
[D]

[Verse 2]
Her daddy didn't like me much
In my [A]shackled [Bm]up GTO
I′d sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw [G]rocks at her bedroom
[D]window
We'd turn out the headlights
[A]And drive by the moonlight
[Bm]Talk about what the future [A]might [G]hold
Down [A]that red dirt [D]road

[Verse 3]
It′s where I drank [D]my first [A]beer[Asus4]
It's where I [A]found Jesus
[Bm]Where I wrecked my first car
[G]I tore it all to [D]pieces
And I learned the path to Heaven
[A]Is ful[Asus4]l of sinners and[A]
[Bm]believers
Learned that happiness on Earth
Ain't [G]just for high [Em]achievers
(Oh, I learned)
I′ve come [D]to know there′s life
at [G]both [Asus4]ends
Of that red [A]dirt [D]road

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 4]
And I went [Em]out into [D]the world
And I [G]came back [Em]in
I lost [D]Mary
Oh, I got her [G]back again
[Em]And [Esus4]driving ho[Em]me tonight
[D]Feels like I found a lon[G]g
lost [A]friend

[Verse 5]
[D]
It′s where I drank my first [A]beer
It's where I found [Bm]Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
[G]I tore it all [D]to pieces
And I learned the path to Heaven
[A]Is full of sinners and bel[Bm]ievers
Learned that happiness on Earth
Ain't [G]just for high [Em]achievers
[Esus4](Oh, I lear[Em]ned)
I′ve come [D]to know
there′s life at [G]both ends
Oh, [Em]I lerane[Esus4]d and I'[Em]ve
come [D]to know
There′s life at [G]both [A]ends
Of that red dirt [D]road[A][Asus4][A]

[Outro 1]
That red dirt road
