Young on a Dirt Road

Black top was miles and miles away Dirt road as far as you could see The future just a minute away Was everything you wanted it to be Taking our time but not slowing down Heads in the clouds, bare feet on the ground Up with the sun, chasing the moon around Dirt road living with a real country sound The black top was miles away The dirt road was here to stay Or so we thought In younger days Hand me down clothes and used cars Knowing right from wrong wasn’t so hard Sunday School and parties at the lake Life like this is too damn real to fake We were young on that old dirt road Didn’t listen to half the things we were told Fishing poles and twenty-twos Cowboy boots and tennis shoes The black top was miles away The dirt road was here to stay Or so we thought In younger days On a dirt road we were living wild Free and being nature’s child Free and living nature wild Black top was miles away Thought that life would stay But the dirt road has gone away And though the black top’s here today My heart still runs that dirt road way The black top was miles away So very very far away…and the dirt road… Goes on forever In my heart
