Dirt On The Country

(album: Beer Ain't Cold - 2023)

You see a Chevy with a lift kit
I see freedom, flying down a backroad
You see a case full of long necks
I see a Friday night with the boys back home

If you never spent a night with the coyotes
Raised some hell in a bonfire glow
Burned it down in the bed of a Silverado
Then I know something you don't

Before you throw dirt on the country, get some on your tires
Stay up all night singing with the cricket choir
Throw it down outside of the barb wire
Making something out of nothing
You ain't lived until you passed around the moonshine
Still got a buzz when
You wake up with the sunrise
It's heaven on earth
But don't take my word
You gotta live it first
Before you throw dirt on the Country

You see a blacktop cutting through a cornfield
I see years of blood sweat and tears
You see a tractor holding up traffic
And I see grandaddy's John Deere

Before you throw dirt on the country, get some on your tires
Stay up all night singing with the cricket choir
Throw it down outside of the barbed wire
Making something out of nothing
You ain't lived until you passed around the moonshine
Still got a buzz when you wake up with the sunrise
It's Heaven on earth
But don't take my word
You gotta live it first
Before you throw dirt on the Country
Before you throw dirt on the country, yeah

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Before you throw dirt on the country, get some on your tires
Stay up all night singing with the cricket choir
Throw it down outside of the barbed wire
Making something out of nothing
You ain't lived until you passed around the moonshine
Still got a buzz when you wake up with the sunrise
It's Heaven on earth
But don't take my word
You gotta live it first
Before you throw dirt on the Country
Before you throw dirt on the country
