Me and daddy'd ride
around all day
shooting doves off a
line in a Chevrolet
Old lab would jump out
the back and fetch them up
We'd drive for miles and
miles and never once
hit blacktop or change the dial
One little country station
was all there was
Checking gates
fixing fence rows
that's how my story goes
If you want to know the real me
just turn the page in
my dirt road diary
It's right there for you to see
every kiss every beer
every cotton field memory
Tan legs and some Dixie Land
delight ridin' round
windows down on a
summer night
I was there and that was me
It's right here
in my dirt road diary
I remember when I
turned sixteen
I got a license and
some gasoline
Ain't a curve or a straight
away we didn't fly down
If wasn't the boys it was
me and her by fire in a
field or down on the river
Every inch of that county
was sacred ground
I wish I knew where that
old truck was
If it could talk it could tell on us
If you want to know the real me
just turn the page in
my dirt road diary
It's right there for you to see
every kiss every beer
every cotton field memory
Tan legs and some Dixie Land
delight ridin' round
windows down on a
summer night
I was there and that was me
It's right here
in my dirt road diary
It ain't a book
underneath my bed
Just a dusty memory lane
burned in my head
Tan legs and some Dixie Land
delight ridin' round
windows down feeling right
I was there that was me
It's right here in
my dirt road diary
Just ride around my little town
and you'll see
how I wrote my dirt road diary
