[Verse]
      F                              
I was raised off of Rural Route three
    C                           
Out past where the blacktop ends
F                                    
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
Bb                              F    
Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
                         C   
That's where I first saw Mary
                         Dm7         
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
                              Bb        
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
          C   F        
Down that red dirt road


[Chorus]
                            C   
It's where I drank my first beer
                   Dm7  
It's where I found Jesus
        Dm                  
Where I wrecked my first car
  Bb             F     
I tore it all to pieces
                      C     
I learned the path to Heaven
                   Cmaj7 Dm7      
Is full of sinners and   believers
             Dm                
Learned that happiness on Earth
Bb                           
Ain't just for high achievers
Gm7                       F   
I've learned I've come to know
                Bb        C           F         C Dm7
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road ■ ■  


[Verse]
Dm F                            
■  Her daddy didn't like me much
      C              
In my shackled up GTO
F                                       
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Bb                                F
Throw rocks at her bedroom window ■
                  C         
We'd turn out the headlights
                 Dm7      
And drive by the moonlight
                                 Bb  
Talk about what the future might hold
     C             F   
Down that red dirt road


[Chorus]
                            C   
It's where I drank my first beer
                   Dm7  
It's where I found Jesus
        Dm7                 
Where I wrecked my first car
Bb               F     
I tore it all to pieces
              F             
I learned the path to Heaven
C                        Dm       
■ Is full of sinners and believers
             Dm                
Learned that happiness on Earth
Bb                           
Ain't just for high achievers
Gm7                       F   
I've learned I've come to know
                Bb        C                F   
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road

[Verse]
  Gm7               F    
I went out into the world
      Bb          
And I came back in
Gm7        F   
■   I lost Mary
         Bb            
Oh I got her back again
Gm               F      
And driving home tonight
                     Bb        C      F
Feels like I found a long lost friend ■


[Chorus]
                            C   
It's where I drank my first beer
                   Dm7  
It's where I found Jesus
        Dm7                 
Where I wrecked my first car
Bb               F     
I tore it all to pieces
                      C     
I learned the path to Heaven
                       Dm       
Is full of sinners and believers
             Dm                
Learned that happiness on Earth
Bb                           
Ain't just for high achievers
Gm7                       F   
I've learned I've come to know
                Bb        C           F    C    Dm7
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road ■  
         Gm7                  F   
Yes I've learned I've come to know
                Bb   C                F    Am  
There's life at both ends of that red dirt road
