(Verse)
(C) It used to be a fenced-in pasture
(Am) Where grandpa used to drive a tractor
(F) And where there used to be Johnson grass
They're steady (C)pourin' out con-(G)crete
(C) I can barely picture that ol' bass pond
(Am) They filled up and put a neighborhood on
(F) They're takin' miles off Memory Lane
And (C)I can't help but think (G)

(Chorus)
(C) Where would me and Daddy spilt that six-pack?
(Am) The first beer I'd love to have back
(F) Where I took that curve too fast
Put (C)that Ford in that (G)creek
(C) And where would I had found that church pew
(Am) That helped me walk a line in work boots?
(F) Or that small-town green-eyed girl
Who climbed (C)up in that bench (G)seat
And (F)where the hell is a good ol' boy gonna go (G)
When they (G)pave all them red-dirt (C) roads? / / / (Am) (G) (F) (Em)

(Verse)
(C) My Dairy Queen was me and Daddy's duck field
(Am) Sure was a whole lotta time and birds killed
(F) Boy, I wish I could go on back
And feel a (C)twelve-gauge kick again (G)
(C) Heard they're 'bout to build a brand new Kwik Sack
(Am) Where that old beat-up red hay barn's sat
(F) Boy, I wish I could close the gate
Where (C)all that asphalt (G)ends

(Chorus)
(C) Where would me and Daddy spilt that six-pack?
(Am) The first beer I'd love to get back
(F) Where I took that curve too fast
Put (C)that Ford in that (G)creek
(C) And where would I had found that church pew
(Am) Where I walked a line in work boots
(F) The love-of-my-life green-eyed girl
She climbed (C)up in that bench (G)seat
And (F)where the hell is a (C)good ol' boy gonna go (G)
When they (G)pave all them red-dirt (C) roads? (Am)
If they pave all them red-dirt (F)roads (C) (G)

(Break)
(F) Drivin' towards that settin' sun
(Em) What might turn out to be the last one
(Dm) And roll my window down
Turn (G)up a little Brooks & Dunn - - -
(C) It's where I drank my first beer
(Am) Where I found Jesus
(F) Where I wrecked my first car
(C)Tore it all to (G)pieces

(Verse)
(C) And found the path to Heaven
(Am) Is full of sinners and believers
(F) Learnin' happiness on Earth
Ain't (C)just for high a-(G)chievers
Oh, I've learned (F)
And it's (F)what I've come to know (G)
Lord, I hope (F) they never (G)pave those red-dirt (C)roads / / / (Am) / / /
Pave all the red-dirt (F)roads / / / (C) /
They never (G)pave those red-dirt (C) roads / / / (Am) / / / (F) / / / (C) - - - - -
