[Chorus]
D
Its that elm shade
Red roads clay you grew up on
G
That plowed up ground
That your dad
Damned his luck on
D
That post-game party field
G
You circled up on
And when it rains
You get stuck on
D
Drift a cloud back
Behind county roads
That you run-up
G
The mud on her jeans
That she peeled off
And hung up
D
Her blue-eyed
Bm7
Summertime smile
G
Looks so good that it hurts

Makes you wanna build
Bm7
A 10 percent down
A/C# D
White picket fence house on this dirt
[Verse 2]
D
You've mixed some sweat with it
Taken a shovel to it
G
You've stuck some crosses and some painted
Bm7
Goal-posts through it (dirt)
G
You know you came from it (dirt)

And someday you'll return to it
You get your hands in it, plant your roots in it
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it
(Dirt, dirt, dirt...)
You write her name on it, spin your tires on it
Build your corn field, whiskey bonfires on it
(Dirt)
You bet your life on it
(Yeah)
[Chorus:]
It's that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You've mixed some sweat with it, taken a shovel to it
You've stuck some crosses and some painted goal posts through it (dirt, dirt, dirt...)
You know you came from it (dirt)
And someday you'll return to this...
[Chorus:]
... elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You know you came from it (dirt)
And someday you'll return to this...
[Chorus:]
... elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That postgame party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You know you came from it and someday you'll return to it
