Pave All Them Red Dirt Roads Lyrics by Riley Green
(Feat. Brooks, Dunn)
It used to be a fenced in pasture
Where grandpa used to drive a tractor
Where there used to be johnson grass
Instead of pourin’ out concrete
I can barely picture that ol’ bass pond
Filled up and put a neighborhood on
Or takin’ miles off memory lane
And I can’t help but think
Where would me and daddy spilt that 6 pack
The first beer I’d love to have back
Where I took that curve too fast
Put that Ford in that creek
Where would I had found that church pew
That helped me walk a line in work boots
That small town green eyed girl
Would’ve climbed up in that bench seat
And where the hell is a good ol’ boy gonna go
When they pave all them red dirt roads
Dairy Queen was me and daddy’s duck field
Sure was a whole lotta time and birds killed
Boy, I wish I could go on back and feel a 12 gauge kick again
Heard they’re about to build a brand new Quick Sack
Where that old beat up red barn sat
Boy, I wish I could close the gate where all that asphalt ends
Where would me and daddy spilt that 6 pack
The first beer I’d love to get back
Where I took that curve too fast
Put that Ford in that creek
Where would I had found that church pew
That helped me walk a line in work boots
The love of my life green eyed girl
She climbed up in that bench seat
And where the hell is a good ol’ boy gonna go
When they pave all them red dirt roads
If they pave all them red dirt roads
Drivin’ towards that settin’ sun
What might turn out to be the last one
Roll my window down
Turn up a little Brooks & Dunn
It’s where I drank my first beer
Where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I found the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learnin’ happiness on earth
Ain’t just for high achievers
Oh, I’ve learned is what I’ve come to know
Lord, I hope they never pave those red dirt roads
Pave all them red dirt roads
They never pave those red dirt roads
