[E]
I was raised on a road round three, out past where the blacktop ends.
We'd walk to church on a sunny morning, rest barefoot back to Johnson's Fence.
That's where I first saw Mary, on that roadside picking [C#m] blackberries.
That summer I turned [A] a corner in my [B] soul, down that [E] red dirt road.
Her daddy didn't like me much, hit by a shackled up GTO.
I'd sneak out in the middle [A] of the night, throw rocks at her bedroom [E] window.
Turn out the headlights, drive by [C#m] the moonlight, talk about what the [A] future might [B] hold, down that [E] red dirt road.
That's where I drank my first [B] beer, that's where I [C#m] found Jesus.
Whoever wrecked my first [A] car, I tore it all to [E] pieces.
I learned the path [B] to heaven is full of sinners and [C#m] believers.
Learning happiness on earth [A] ain't just for high [F#m] achievers.
Oh, I learned [E] I'll come to know [A] there's life in [B] both ends of [E] that red dirt road.

[E] I lost Mary, [A] oh, I got her back again.
[F#m] [E] Driving on at night, feels like I [A] found a long [B] lost friend.
[E] That's where I drank my first beer, that's where I [C#m] found Jesus.
Whoever wrecked my first [A] car, I tore it all to [E] pieces.
I learned the path [B] to heaven is full of sinners and [C#m] believers.
