There's a screen door hanging off the frame
And a mailbox fading in the rain
Just a gravel road that knows my name
I spent ten years trying to outrun
The red clay
and the setting sun
But the dirt roads always lead you
home
Underneath the pine trees where we
roamed (yeah)
No matter where those big highway lanes go
Now my boots are resting by the stairs
And the kitchen tabletop is bare
But there's peace inside these simple prayers
But the dirt roads always lead you
home
Underneath the pine trees where we
roamed
(where
we roamed)
No matter where those big highway lanes go
Those big highway lanes go...
(back home)
