Heaven On Dirt
My daddy used to curse that ground
But he still put the money down on a
Shotgun trailer house on the outskirts
Of a town nobody knows
Was born blessed, but I couldn't tell
I grew up fast and fought like hell to get
Out of there, anywhere
I didn't care, but I had to go
It might be a little rose-colored glasses
But it seems like every year that passes
I'm thinkin' more about way back when
I didn't know it back then but
It was Heaven on dirt
Ain't no place on Earth
Like that 40-acre plot
Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work
Might not be for everyone
But that red still runs in my blood
The beer was cold, the trucks were old
The dust was gold, it was Heaven on dirt
I kissed my first love in the front yard
On the hood of my first used car, had some
Good nights with some good friends
And mud tires on holy ground
I moved out and we lost touch
I didn't know he meant so much
But you don't know what you're missing when you ain't around
You don't know what you got 'til they tear it down
It was Heaven on dirt
Ain't no place on Earth
Like that 40-acre plot
Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work
Might not be for everyone
But that red still runs in my blood
The beer was cold, the trucks were old
The dust was gold, it was Heaven on dirt
Oh, it was Heaven on dirt
It might be a little rose-colored glasses
But it seems like every year that passes
I'm thinkin' more about way back when
I didn't know it back then but
It was Heaven on dirt
Ain't no place on Earth
Like that 40-acre plot
Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work
Might not be for everyone
But that red still runs in my blood
The beer was cold, the trucks were old
The dust was gold, it was Heaven on dirt
Oh, it was Heaven on dirt
But he still put the money down on a
Shotgun trailer house on the outskirts
Of a town nobody knows
Was born blessed, but I couldn't tell
I grew up fast and fought like hell to get
Out of there, anywhere
I didn't care, but I had to go
It might be a little rose-colored glasses
But it seems like every year that passes
I'm thinkin' more about way back when
I didn't know it back then but
It was Heaven on dirt
Ain't no place on Earth
Like that 40-acre plot
Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work

But that red still runs in my blood
The beer was cold, the trucks were old

The beer was cold, the trucks were old
The dust was gold, it was Heaven on dirt
Oh, it was Heaven on dirt
