Red Dirt Road - 123

• F

Intro F - C - Dm 

(Verse) 

F                                  C 
I was raised off’ a road route 3, out past where the blacktop ends, 
     F 
We’d walk to church on Sunday morn 
         Bb 
And race barefoot back to Johnson’s Fence 
F 
That's where I first saw Mary, 
C 
On that roadside pickin’ blackberries, 
Dm                      Bb                        
That summer I turned a corner in my soul 
          C            F 
Down that red dirt road, 


(Chorus) 
F 
It's where I drank my first beer, 
C 
It's where I found Jesus, 
Dm 
Where I wrecked my first car 
Bb 
I tore it all to pieces, 
F 
I learned the path to heaven, 
C 
It's full of sinners and believers, 
Dm 
Learned that happiness on earth, 
Bb 
Ain't just for high achievers, 
Gm                           Am 
I've learned, I've come to know, 
             Bb        C 
There's life at both ends, 
                F 
That red dirt road, 



(Verse) 
F 
Her daddy didn't like me much, 
C 
In my shackled up GTO, 
     F 
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night, 

          Bb 
Throw rocks at her bedroom window, 
F 
We'd turn out the headlights, 
C 
Drive by the moonlight, 
Dm 
Talk about what the future might hold, 
         C             F 
Down that red dirt road, 


(Go to chorus then to lead,  
Lead chords are (F - C - Dm - Bb - F - C - Dm)  
Then bridge below) 



(Bridge) 

  Gm                 Am 
I went out into the world, 
      Bb 
And I came back in, 
Gm       Am 
I lost Mary, 
        Bb 
Oh I got her back again, 
Gm                 Am 
And drivin’ home tonight 
                     Bb         C 
Feels like I found a long lost friend, 



(Go to chorus then lead out) 
Lead out chords are (F - C - Dm - Bb)
