"Pave All Them Red Dirt Roads" lyrics
(feat. Brooks & Dunn)
[Riley Green:]
It used to be a fenced-in pasture
Where grandpa used to drive a tractor
And where there used to be Johnson grass
They're steady pourin' out concrete
I can barely picture that ol' bass pond
They filled up and put a neighborhood on
They're takin' miles off Memory Lane
And I can't help but think
Where would me and Daddy spilt that six-pack?
The first beer I'd love to have back
Where I took that curve too fast
Put that Ford in that creek
And where would I had found that church pew
That helped me walk a line in work boots?
Or that small-town green-eyed girl
Who climbed up in that bench seat
And where the hell is a good ol' boy gonna go
When they pave all them red-dirt roads?
Dairy Queen was me and Daddy's duck field
Sure was a whole lotta time and birds killed
Boy, I wish I could go on back and feel a twelve-gauge kick again
Heard they're 'bout to build a brand new Kwik Sack
Where that old beat-up red hay barn's sat
Boy, I wish I could close the gate where all that asphalt ends
Where me and Daddy split that six-pack
The first beer I'd love to have back
Where I took that curve too fast
Put that Ford in that creek
And where I finally found that church pew
Where I walked a line in work boots
The love-of-my-life green-eyed girl
She climbed up in that bench seat
And where the hell is a good ol' boy gonna go
When they pave all them red-dirt roads?
If they pave all them red-dirt roads
Drivin' towards that settin' sun
What might turn out to be the last one
And roll my window down
Turn up a little Brooks & Dunn
[Brooks & Dunn (Riley Green):]
It's where I drank my first beer
Where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
Tore it all to pieces
(And found the path to heaven)
Is full of sinners and believers
(Learnin' happiness on Earth)
Ain't just for high achievers
Oh, I've learned
(And it's what I've come to know)
Lord, I hope they never pave those red-dirt roads
[Riley Green (Brooks & Dunn):]
Pave all the red-dirt roads
(They never pave those red-dirt roads)
It used to be a fenced-in pasture
Where grandpa used to drive a tractor
And where there used to be Johnson grass
They're steady pourin' out concrete
I can barely picture that ol' bass pond
They filled up and put a neighborhood on
They're takin' miles off Memory Lane
And I can't help but think
Where would me and Daddy spilt that six-pack?
The first beer I'd love to have back
Where I took that curve too fast
Put that Ford in that creek
And where would I had found that church pew
That helped me walk a line in work boots?
Or that small-town green-eyed girl
Who climbed up in that bench seat
And where the hell is a good ol' boy gonna go
When they pave all them red-dirt roads?
Dairy Queen was me and Daddy's duck field
Sure was a whole lotta time and birds killed
Boy, I wish I could go on back and feel a twelve-gauge kick again
