Lyrics
DIRT TRACK ROAD
©2003 John Naismith / Willie Evans
Down the dirt track road
There?s a place you?ll find
All them good ole songs
Just your Daddy?s kind
On the lost highway
With Hank?s lonesome pine
Down the dirt track road
Man, I love this country of mine
In a bar with a beer in my hand
Man, I was born to raise hell
Every honky tonk in this town
Has had me thrown in jail
When I wake with a gun in my side, thinkin?
?What am I gonna do now??
I grab a beer and I wait to hear that sound?.
Down the dirt track road
There?s a place you?ll find
All them good ole songs
Just your Daddy?s kind
On the lost highway
With Hank?s lonesome pine
Down the dirt track road
Man, I love this country of mine
Cheap hotel, girl on my arm
Man, this is feelin? so right
Gotta have a woman in every town
Need a little lovin? to help me thru? the night
When I wake with a girl at my side, thinkin?
?What?m I gonna do now??
I grab a beer and I wait to hear that sound?.
Down the dirt track road
There?s a place you?ll find
All them good ole songs
Just your Daddy?s kind
On the lost highway
With Hank?s lonesome pine
Down the dirt track road
Man, I love this country of mine
