Dirt Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
You get your hands in it, you plant your roots in it
You dusty headlight, dance with your boots in it
Dirt
You write her name on it, you spin your tires on it
Build your corn field, whiskey, bonfires on it
You bet your life on it

[Chorus]
It's that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circled up on
And when it rains, you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
That blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fеnce house on this dirt

[Verse 2]
You dripped somе sweat with it, taken a shovel to it
You've stuck some crosses and some painted goal posts through it
You know you came from it
And some day you'll return to that
[Chorus]
Elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circled up on
And when it rains, you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
That blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt

[Bridge]
You know you came from it
And someday you'll return to that

[Chorus]
Elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circled up on
And when it rains, you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
That blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt

[Outro]
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
