Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
It's better than a mudslide, mama, when the dry spell come, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road

Ain't no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah, yeah, yeah

Breezing through the deadwood on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay
I said, "Uh, hey Mr. Human, can ya rainmaker too?"
He said, "I guess it's okay, ya know, the only thing we need is water
Cool, clear water, water, water, water

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
Better than a mudslide, mama, when the morning comes, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road

Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
So long, so long
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Keep on keeping on
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
