[Intro]
D G Bm7 G A
[Verse 1]
D
You get your hands in it
Plant your roots in it
G Bm7 G A
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it (dirt)
D
You write her name on it
Spin your tires on it
G
Build your corn field, whiskey
Bm7
Bonfires on it (dirt)
G A
You bet your life on it
[Chorus]
D
Its that elm shade
Red roads clay you grew up on
G
That plowed up ground
That your dad
Damned his luck on
A
That post game party field
You circled up on
Bm7
And when it rains
A
You get stuck on
D
Drift a cloud back
Behind county roads
That you run up
G
The mud on her jeans
That she peeled off
And hung up
A
Her blue eyed
Summer time smile
Bm7 G
Looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build
Bm7
A 10 percent down
A D
White picket fence house on this dirt
[Verse 2]
D
You?ve mixed some sweat with it
Taken a shovel to it
G
You?ve stuck some crosses and some painted
Bm7
Goal posts through it (dirt)
G
You know you came from it (dirt)
A
And some day you?ll return to
[Chorus]
D
This elm shade
Red roads clay you grew up on
G
That plowed up ground
That your dad
Damned his luck on
A
That post game party field
You circled up on
Bm7
And when it rains
A
You get stuck on
D
Drift a cloud back
Behind county roads
That you run up
G
The mud on her jeans
That she peeled off
And hung up
A
Her blue eyed
Summer time smile
Bm7 G
Looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build
Bm7
A 10 percent down
A D
White picket fence house on this dirt
G
(dirt)
Bm7 G
You know you cam from it (dirt)

And some day you'll return to it
