Intro: (F) (C/E) (Dm7) 

I was raised (F) off of rural route three
Out (Am/E) past where the blacktop ends
(F) We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
And race bare(Bb/D)foot back to Johnson's fence
(F) That's where I first saw Mary
(Am/E) On that roadside pickin' blackberries
(Dm7) That summer I turned the corner (Bb) in my soul
Down that (Am/C) red (C) dirt (F) road

  (F) It's where I drank my first beer
  (C/E) It's where I found Jesus
  (Dm) Where I wrecked my first car
  I (Bb) tore it all to pieces
  (F) I learned the path to heaven
  (C/E) Is full of sinners and believers
  (Dm) Learned that happiness on earth
  Ain't (Bb) just for high achievers 
  I lear(Gm7)ned
  I've come to (F/A) know there's life at (Bb) both ends
  (C) Of that red dirt (F) road

(C/E) (Dm) (Dm)

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
And drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down that red dirt road

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(C/E) (Dm) (Bb) (F) (C/E) (Dm) (Dm) 

I went (Gm7) out into the (F/A) world
And I (Bb) came back in
(Gm7) I lost (F/A) Mary
Oh, I got her (Bb) back again
(Gm7) And driving home ton(F/A)ight
It feels like I found a (Bb) long lost fr(C)iend

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(F) (C/E) (Dm) (Bb) (F) (C/E) (Dm) (Bb) (F)
