My Own Dirt Road

I remember cruising down an old dirt road
Drink in my hand with my arm out the window
I remember haulin' round a truckload
Tryna make a little dough I could blow on some ice cold

Back then I remember thinkin' bout life
Didn't see much in it
Used to be me doin' all wrong just right
And it felt like winnin'

Lord knows I'm better than the bottle
Better than a life that ain't worth it all
Lord knows my foot's on the throttle
With some clear drinkin' boys set on havin' a ball
Called a good time not a long time
Have you ever heard bout both
It's called a small ranch farm and pretty young wife
Down my own dirt road

Runnin' through the sticks from a cop car
Sheriff and the Warden I already had a warnin' time for locked bars
Preacher man came to me, it hit me real hard
When he said he came to tell I was on my way to hell through a graveyard

Spent a long time, thinkin' bout life
And just how I'd lived it
It was all being drunk, girls and fightin'
It just kept on slippin'

Lord knows I'm better than the bottle
Better than a life that ain't worth it all
Lord knows my foot's on the throttle
With some clear drinkin' boys set on havin' a ball
Called a good time not a long time
Have you ever heard bout both
It's called a small ranch farm and pretty young wife
Down My Own Dirt Road
