My Own Dirt Road

I remember cruising down an old dirt road Drink in my hand with my arm out the window I remember haulin' round a truckload Tryna make a little dough I could blow on some ice cold Back then I remember thinkin' bout life Didn't see much in it Used to be me doin' all wrong just right And it felt like winnin' Lord knows I'm better than the bottle Better than a life that ain't worth it all Lord knows my foot's on the throttle With some clear drinkin' boys set on havin' a ball Called a good time not a long time Have you ever heard bout both It's called a small ranch farm and pretty young wife Down my own dirt road Runnin' through the sticks from a cop car Sheriff and the Warden I already had a warnin' time for locked bars Preacher man came to me, it hit me real hard When he said he came to tell I was on my way to hell through a graveyard Spent a long time, thinkin' bout life And just how I'd lived it It was all being drunk, girls and fightin' It just kept on slippin' Lord knows I'm better than the bottle Better than a life that ain't worth it all Lord knows my foot's on the throttle With some clear drinkin' boys set on havin' a ball Called a good time not a long time Have you ever heard bout both It's called a small ranch farm and pretty young wife Down My Own Dirt Road
