[00:15.24] I was raised off of rural route three [00:19.11] Out past where the blacktop ends [00:23.27] We'd walk to church on Sunday morning [00:26.38] And race barefoot back to Johnson's fence [00:32.06] That's where I first saw Mary [00:35.10] On that roadside pickin' blackberries [00:39.27] That summer I turned the corner in my soul [00:43.16] Down that red dirt road [00:47.84] [00:53.09] Her daddy didn't like me much [00:56.75] In my shackled up GTO [01:00.73] I'd sneak out in the middle of the night [01:04.02] Throw rocks at her bedroom window [01:09.99] We'd turn out the headlights [01:13.58] And drive by the moonlight [01:16.25] Talk about what the future might hold [01:20.76] Down that red dirt road [01:24.35] It's where I drank my first beer [01:28.14] It's where I found Jesus [01:31.70] Where I wrecked my first car [01:34.27] I tore it all to pieces [01:39.21] I learned the path to Heaven [01:42.07] Is full of sinners and believers [01:45.84] Learned that happiness on Earth [01:48.68] Ain't just for high achievers (I learned) [01:53.82] I've come to know there's life at both ends [01:58.84] Of that red dirt road [02:02.67] [02:29.33] I went out into the world [02:33.01] And I came back in [02:38.26] I lost Mary [02:40.46] Oh, I got her back again [02:44.95] And driving home tonight [02:47.11] Feels like I found a long lost friend [02:56.87] It's where I drank my first beer [03:00.62] It's where I found Jesus [03:04.30] Where I wrecked my first car [03:06.73] I tore it all to pieces [03:11.72] I learned the path to Heaven [03:14.58] Is full of sinners and believers [03:18.49] Learned that happiness on Earth [03:21.21] Ain't just for high achievers (oh, I learned) [03:26.22] I've come to know there's life at both ends [03:32.02] Oh, I've learned, I've come to know there's life at both ends [03:38.73] Of that red dirt road [03:42.50]
