That's Why I Love Dirt Roads

(album: Country Things, Vol. 1 - 2020)

A midnight Milky Way
Through a cracked windshield
The highways never know
How free this feels
I learned to drive out here
My grandpa let me steer
I still hear, "Both hands on the wheel"

Talk to God on 'em
We get lost on 'em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em
We get stuck on 'em
Fall in love on 'em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That's why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
And stirring up my soul
That's why I love running wild
Through country miles
They're out of style, they take a while
But every winding ride will lead me home
That's why I love dirt roads
Whoa, whoa

Chasing a painted sky
And river winding curves
Can't help but feel like my
Heaven here on earth

Yeah, out here in the quiet
I know you hear me
The stars are smiling
I feel you near me

Talk to God on 'em
We get lost on 'em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em
We get stuck on 'em
Fall in love on 'em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That's why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
And stirring up my soul
That's why I love running wild
Through country miles
They're out of style, they take a while
But every winding ride will lead me home
That's why I love dirt roads
Whoa, whoa
That's why I love dirt roads

Sometimes, they're beat up and broken
Scattered and tossed in the breeze
But no matter their scars
It doesn't change what they are
And that sounds a little like me
And that's why I love dirt roads
Yeah, that's why I love dirt roads

That's why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It's stirring up my soul
That's why I love running wild
Through country miles
They're out of style, they take a while
But every winding ride will lead me home
That's why I love dirt roads

Talk to God on 'em
We get lost on 'em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em
We get stuck on 'em
Fall in love on 'em
Rough around the edges, just like us
That's why I love dirt roads
Whoa, whoa

That's why I love dirt roads
That's why I love dirt roads
