^EI was raised off of Rural Route 3 Out past where the blacktop ends ^C#mWe'd walked to church on Sunday morning ^ARace barefoot back to the Johnson's fence ^EThat's where I first saw Mary

On that roadside pickin' blackberries

^C#mThat summer I turned a corner in^A my soul Down that red dirt road^E

[Verse 2]

^EHer daddy didn't like me much With my shackled up GTO ^C#mI'd sneak out in the middle of the night ^AThrow rocks at her bedroom window ^EWe'd turn out the headlights

Drive by the moonlight

^C#mTalk about what the future might ^Ahold Down that ^Ered dirt road

[Chorus]

^EIt's where I drank my first beer It's where I found Jesus ^C#mWhere I wrecked my first car ^AI tore it all to pieces ^EI learned the path to heaven

Is full of sinners and believers

^C#mLearned that happiness on earth ^AAin't just for high achievers ^FmI've learned I've come to ^Eknow There's life at ^Aboth ends Of that red dirt ^Eroad

E E C#m A x2 [Bridge]

^F#mI went out into the ^Eworld And I ^Acame back in ^F#mI lost M^Eary ^AOh, I got her back again ^F#mAnd driving home ^Etonight ^AFeels like I've found a long lost friend^B

[Chorus]

^EIt's where I drank my first beer It's where I found Jesus ^C#mWhere I wrecked my first car ^AI tore it all to pieces ^EI learned the path to heaven

Is full of sinners and believers

^C#mLearned that happiness on earth ^AAin't just for high achievers ^FmI've learned I've come to ^Eknow There's life at ^Aboth ends

Of that red dirt road

^FmI've learned I've come to ^Eknow There's life at ^Aboth ends Of that red dirt ^Eroad
