Intro.:  |(D) |(G) |(A) |(D) | x 2

(D)Four year's old (G)my birthday, (A) I opened presents, (D)ate some cake
I took tonker (G)straight outside to (A)play in (D)dirt
Six years old, (G)hard line drive, (A) that ball just (D)sailed on by
'Cause I was busy (G)writing that name of mine (A) in (D)dirt

(Chorus)
It was (G)my first love, (A) good as gold, (D)heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
(G)Mama should have bought all my (A)clothes in brown, (D)'cause I'd turn 'em that color anyhow
In be-(G)tween the car and the front steps of that (A)church was dirt

Inst.:  |(D) |(G) |(A) |(D) |

(D)Turned sixteen, bought a (G)Chevrolet, (A)four wheel drive, what a (D)happy day
So even if it (G)rained I could (A)play in (D)dirt
Couple years later, (G)wouldn't you know, (A) I lost my heart at the (D)rodeo
She fell off her horse and was (G)covered head to (A)toe in (D)dirt

(Chorus)
It was (G)my first love, (A) good as gold, (D)heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
It's the (G)reason I'm out here (A)tilling this land and that (D)rodeo queen's got a ring on her hand
I don't (G)know where I'd be if it (A)weren't for dirt

Inst.:  |(G) |(G) |(A) |(A) |(D) |(D)

Well, (G)I ain't afraid of (A)growing old, 'cause (D)when I die I know where I'll go
(G) There'll be no need to (A)cry for me, (D) I won't need your sympathy
When they (G)cover me up with six feet of (A)earth, it's just dirt

Outro.:  ||(D) |(G) |(A) |(D) |(D) |(G) |(A) ||
