Dirt Road to My Heart

Sunlight dancing on the field so green Calling me back to where I've always been Grew up with calloused hands and early morning calls Plowing through the earth while the old rooster bawls Daddy taught me lessons in the heat of the day Sweat on our brows, but we laughed anyway Momma's kitchen filled with the smell of fresh bread Sisters and brothers sharing stories for bed Those simple days shaped the man that I am Leaving was easy, but coming back's the plan Oh, this old dirt road leads straight to my heart Where the love runs deep and we'll never part Family ties stronger than any storm that brews Hard work and faith, that's what we do Singing hallelujah under wide open skies Nostalgia pulls me home, wipes the tears from my eyes Yeah, I'm right where I belong Feeling alive City lights flickered, promises turned to dust Chased empty dreams, but they left me in rust One lonesome night heard that familiar call Packing my bags, heading home through it all Oh, this old dirt road leads straight to my heart Where the love runs deep and we'll never part Family ties stronger than any storm that brews Hard work and faith, that's what we do Singing hallelujah under wide open skies Nostalgia pulls me home, wipes the tears from my eyes Yeah, I'm right where I belong Feeling alive Feeling alive right here at home Yeah, feeling alive Yeah, feeling alive, never alone Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah
