Me and daddy ride around all day
Shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet
Ol lab would jump out the back and fetch em up
We'd drive for miles and miles
And never once hit black top or change the dial
One little country station was all there was
Checkin gates, fixin fence rows
That's how my story goes
(Chorus)
If you want to know the real me
Just turn the page in my dirt road diary
It's right there for you to see
Every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory
Tan legs and some Dixieland Delight
Ridin round windows down on a summer night
I was there and there and that was me
It's right here in my dirt road diary
I remember when I turned sixteen
I got a license and some gasoline
Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down
If it wasn't the boys it was me and her
By fire in a field or down by the river
Every inch of that county was sacred ground
I wish I knew where that old truck was
If it could talk it could tell on us
(Chorus)
If you want to know the real me
Just turn the page in my dirt road diary
It's right there for you to see
Every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory
Tan legs and some Dixieland Delight
Ridin round windows down on a summer night
I was there and there and that was me
It's right here in my dirt road diary
It ain't a book underneath my bed
Just a dusty memory lane in my head, yeah
(Chorus)
Tan legs and some Dixieland Delight
Ridin round windows down on a summer night
I was there and there and that was me
It's right here in my dirt road diaries
Just ride around this little town and you'll see
How I wrote my dirt road diary
