Intro: (E) (E)

(E) Daddy said they ain't making no more of it (B/D#) 
I (C#m) Said that's fine with me, cause I'm tired of working on it
(A) Soon as I can I'm outta here, I don't (E) love it like you do
(C#m) Son I know just how you feel, I used to (B) feel the same way to
   
  Til' I learned (E) dirt (B/D#) turns to (C#m) gold
  You (A) gotta be patient son, it happens (B) slow
  It'll (E) take some blood, sweat, and tears (B/D#)
  (C#m) More than a few hard-working years
  I (A) know it's hard to see (A/G#) that far down the (F#m) road
  Oh but (A) dirt (B) turns to (E) gold
 
Well, I (E) saved enough to move into that city (B/D#) 
Where the (C#m) lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty
Aw but (A) some nights I can't sleep a wink, all the (E) sirens and the horns
And (C#m) I miss crickets, whippoorwills, and the (B) peaceful sounds of home
 
  I know (E) dirt (B/D#) turns to (C#m) gold
  I (A) washed it off but it stayed down in my (B) soul
  And there's this (E) girl I met, said she'd like to (B/D#) see
  The (C#m) place that means so much to me
  She (A) wants to feel that (A/G#) feeling that I (F#m) know
  Back where (A) dirt (B) turns to (E) gold
 
So I (F#m) took her back home for a long weekend
She'd (G#m) never seen nothin' like County Road 10
I (F#m) rolled all those windows down
And (E) pointed out my old stomping grounds
And (F#m) after supper at mom and dads
(G#m) Swinging in the swing, hand in hand
(F#m) Watching the sun sinking out of sight
She (B) said I could get used to this (B7) life 
 
  Out (E) dirt (B/D#) turns to (C#m) gold
  A (A) piece of heaven down some country (B) road
  There's (E) space out here for us to (B/D#) breathe
  (C#m) Build a home and plant some seeds
  (A) Sit on the porch and (A/G#) watch our children (F#m) grow
  That's where (A) dirt (B) turns to (E) gold
  Yeah (A) dirt (B) turns to (E) gold
