Daddy worked

Hard for his dollar

He said

Some folks don't

But that's o.k.

Well they won't know

Which road to follow

Because

An easy street

Might lead you astray

I'll take the dirt road

It's all I know

I've been 'a walkin' it

For years

It's goin' where

I need to go

It ain't easy

It ain't supposed to be

So I'll take my time

And life won't

Pass me by

'cause

It's right there

To find

On the dirt road

4 bar

Break

I have lived

Life in the fast lane

You gotta

Watch your back

And look both ways

When it's said

And done

The time we have

Is borrowed

You better

Make real sure

You're headed

The right way

I'll take the dirt road

It's all I know

I've been 'a walkin' it

For years

It's goin' where

I need to go

It ain't easy

It ain't supposed to be

So I'll take my time

And life won't

Pass me by

'cause

It's right there

To find

I'll take the dirt road

It's all I know

I've been 'a walkin' it

For years

It's goin' where

I need to go

It ain't easy

It ain't supposed to be

So I'll take my time

And life won't

Pass me by

'cause

It's right there

To find

On the dirt road

On the dirt road
