You get your hands in it
Plant your roots in it
Dusty headlights dance with your boots in it
DirtYou write your name on it
Spin your tires on it
Build your cornfield, whiskey
Bonfires on it
DirtYou bet your life on itIt's that old shade red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summer time smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down
White picket fence house on this dirtYou've mixed some sweat with it
Taken a shovel to it
You've stuck some crosses and some painted
Goal posts through it
DirtYou know you came from it
Dirt
And some day you'll return toThis elm shade red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summer time smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down
White picket fence house on this dirtYou know you came from it
Dirt
And some day you'll return toThis elm shade red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck onDrift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summer time smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down
White picket fence house on this dirtMakes you wanna build a 10 percent down
White picket fence house on this dirtYou know you came from it
And some day you'll return to it
