[Intro]

[Verse]
E Emaj7 E                                      
■ ■     ■ I was raised off of Rural Route three
                   Emaj7        
Out past where the blacktop ends
                    E                
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
A                                   E    
And race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
                         B   
That's where I first saw Mary
                         Dbm         
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
                         A                
That summer I turned the corner in my soul
B                  E   
Down that red dirt road
    A E                        
Her ■ daddy didn't like me much
      B           Emaj7
In my shackled up GTO  
E                                       
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
      A                    E     
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
             Emaj7     
Turn out the headlights
             Dbm7     
Drive by the moonlight
                                 A   
Talk about what the future might hold
          B            
Down that red dirt road
E                           B   
It's where I drank my first beer
                   Dbm7 
It's where I found Jesus
        Dbm7                
Where I wrecked my first car
  A              E     
I tore it all to pieces


[Chorus]
                             B
I learned the path to heaven ■
                       Dbm7     
Is full of sinners and believers
             Dbm7              
Learned that happiness on earth
A                   Gbm7     
Ain't just for high achievers
             E                    A    B   
I've come to know there's life at both ends
            E        
Of that red dirt road

[Bridge]
  Gbm7     Gbm      E    
I went out into the world
      A            Gbm7
And I came back in ■   
       E   
I lost Mary
             A    Amaj7
Oh I got her back again
Gbm7                  E      
■    And driving home tonight
                        A        B      E
It feels like I found a longlost friend ■


[Chorus]
                                 Emaj7
It's where I drank my first beer ■    
                   Dbm  
It's where I found Jesus
                Dbm         
Where I wrecked my first car
       A         E     
I tore it all to pieces
                   E        
I learned the path to heaven
B                               
Is full of sinners and believers
Dbm7                           
Learned that happiness on earth
           A                       Gbm7   
Ain't just for high achievers oh I learned
                  E                 A        
I've come to know ■ there's life at both ends
   Gbm7                  E               A        
Oh and I've come to know there's life at both ends


[Outro]
B       E        Emaj7 E
Of that red dirt road  ■
                        E                      
Y'all give it up for my heroes up here on stage
                    E
