Headin' to church just to get away
listenin' to what the preacher has to say
and I realize that I just can't stay
sun sinin' through these ol' dusty windows
lookin' over the miles of feilds
the riverbeds dust blowin' with the wind
mud covers this beat up truck
these ol' tires kicking up dust

The sun rises on this ol' dirt road
drivin' past houses goin' real slow
who needs paved in gold
when we have these ol' dirt roads

In another town by the end of the day
just lookin' for a place to stay
wakin' up to just another day
alone with only my thoughts
no one to talk to but myself
and then I realize that I just can't stay


the sun rises on this ol' dirt road
drivin' past houses goin' real slow
who needs paved in gold
when we have these ol' dirt roads


packin' up the truck
lookin' out these ol' dusty windows
mud covers this beat up truck
these ol' tires kickin' up dust


the sun rises on this ol' dirt road
drivin' past houses goin' real slow
who needs paved in gold
when we can have these ol' dirt roads
