[Verse 1]
      
I was raised o

ff of Rural Ro

ute 3,
    
out past where

 the blacktop 

ends,

We'd walk to c

hurch on Sunda

y mornin'
         
and race baref

oot back to Jo

hnson's fence

    That's whe

re I first saw

 Mary,

    On that ro

adside pickin'

 blackberries,
            
   that summer

              
 I turned a co

             
rner in my sou

             
l down that re

       
d dirt road

[Chorus]
(
It's where I d

rank my first 

beer,

    It's where

 I found Jesus

,

    Where I wr

ecked my first

 car
  
I tore it all 

to pieces,

    I learned 

the path to he

aven,

    Is full of

 sinners and b

elievers,

    Learned th

at happiness o

n earth,
      
Ain't just for

 high achiever

s,
            
I've learned, 

             
I've come to k

/
now,
              
there's life a

            
t both ends   

              
of that red di

         
rt road

[Verse 2]
     
Her daddy didn

't like me muc

h,
      
In my shackled

 up GTO,

I'd sneak out 

in the middle 

of the night,
       
Throw rocks at

 her bedroom w

indow,

    We'd turn 

out the headli

ghts,

    Drive by t

he moonlight,
            
    Talk about

              
 what the futu

         
re might hold,
             
Down that red 

     
dirt road,

[Chorus]
(
It's where I d

rank my first 

beer,

    It's where

 I found Jesus

    Where I wr

[Bridge]
            
I went out int

        
o the world,
      
And I came bac

k in,
           
    I lost Mar

/
y,
              
Oh, I got her 


back again
            
    And drivin

Feels like I f
