Key of G
Intro:  G C Em D G C Em D

      Em    C 	  	   G
Daddy worked hard for his dollars
 	  	    Em    C 	  	 D
He said some folks don't, but that's okay
 	  	 Em   C 	  	   G
Well they won't know which road to follow
 	  	 Em     D 	  	 G
Because an easy street might lead you astray


Chorus:
 	  	 C 	  	     G
I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know
 	 D 	  	  	  	  	  	 G
I been walkin' it for years, it's going where I need to go
D 	  C 	  	  	   G
It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
F       Em 	 C 	  F 	     Em 	      C
So I'll take my time, and life won't pass me by
 	 F         Em 	    C   D 	 G
'Cause it's right there to find on the dirt road

C  Em  D  G  C  Em  D

 	 Em   C 	  	      G
I have lived life in the fast lane
 	  	       Em  C 	  	 D
You gotta watch your back and look both ways
 	  	    Em        C 	  	     G
When it's said and done, the time we have is borrowed
 	  	      Em 	  	  D 	  	   G
You better make real sure you're headed the right way.
