I was ^Draised off of rural route 3, out p^Aast where the blacktop ends, ^DWe'd walk to church on Sunday morn and race^G barefoot back to Johnson's Fence ^DThat's where I first saw Mary, ^AOn that roadside picking blackberries, ^Bmthat summer I turned a corner^G in my soul down that^A red dirt ^Droad,

[Chorus]

^DIt's where I drank my first beer, ^AIt's where I found Jesus, ^BmWhere I wrecked my first car I ^Gtore it all to pieces, ^DI learned the path to heaven, ^C#/AIt's full of sinners and believers, ^BmLearned that happiness on earth, Ain't ^Gjust for high achievers, I've ^Emlearned, I've come to ^F#mknow, There's life at^G both ends ^AOf that red dirt ^Droad,

e|---------------------| B|-/10-----------------| This is played at the end G|-----11--11h12p11----| of the first chorus and hints D|------------------12-| at the lead coming later in the A|---------------------| song. E|---------------------| [Verse 2] Her daddy didn't like me much, In my shackled up GTO, I'd sneak out in the middle of the night, Throw rocks at her bedroom window, We'd turn out the headlights, Drive by the moonlight, Talk about what the future might hold, Down that red dirt road, [Lead Over D A Bm G] e|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| B|-/10-----------------------------------|-/10----10-12-12-12-15-15-17-19-| G|-----11--11h12p11-----11h12--11-\9-7-7-|-----11-------------------------| D|------------------12-------------------|--------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------| [Bridge]

I wen^Emt out into the ^F#mworld, And I ^Gcame back in, ^EmI lost ^F#mMary, Oh I ^Ggot her back again ^EmAnd driving home ^F#mtonight Feels like I found a^G long lost ^Afrien^Asusd, ^DIt's where I drank my first beer, ^C#/AIt's where I found Jesus, ^BmWhere I wrecked my first car I ^Gtore it all to pieces, ^DI learned the path to heaven, ^C#/AIt's full of sinners and believers, ^BmLearned that happiness on earth, Ain't ^Gjust for high achievers, I've ^Emlearned, I've come to ^F#mknow, There's life at^G both ends ^AOf that red dirt ^Droad,
