Dirt Road Dawn
(hm-mm-mm) Left the porch light burning back in Tennessee
Took the gravel highway,
just the dust and me
Spent too long staring at a broken ring
Time to hear a song that I can finally sing
On these wild new dirt roads,
chasing down the sun Saying hello to tomorrow,
what's done is done Got a clean slate waiting,
got some new friends on the way Every mile of red clay
washes yesterday away
(wash it all away)
Met some folks at the crossing,
shared a stories and a beer
They don't know my old trouble,
they just glad I'm here
We mapped out the valleys where the black pines grow Trading heartbreak
stories for the open road
On these wild new dirt roads,
chasing down the sun Saying hello to tomorrow,
what's done is done Got a clean slate waiting,
got some new friends on the way Every mile of red clay
washes yesterday away
Just some wild new dirt roads...
(yeah,
wash it away)
