Midnight Milky Way through a cracked windshield
The highway's never known how free this feels
I learned to drive out here, my grandpa let me steer
I still hear, "Both hands on the wheel"

Talk to God on 'em
We get lost on 'em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em
We get stuck on 'em
Fall in love on 'em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That's why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It's stirring up my soul
That's why I love running wild through country miles
They're out of style, they take a while
But every winding ride'll lead me home
That's why I love dirt roads
Whoa, whoa

Yeah
You never know what to expect
Or what's coming next
When ridin' them dirt roads
The gravel and dust might throw you off
If I'm not ready or not, only God knows
It's hard tryna hold it together
When I lost a couple of people along the ride
Wish I could roll back the hands on the clock
Just to tell 'em, "I love you" just one more time
I wasn't prepared for the pain that came
It had me tore up on the inside
But I could hear you on the side of me
Whispering softly, telling me not to cry
Just when I thought I was hopeless
You kept reminding me how you would never leave
And all of them people we lost had a place up in heaven
So make sure I get a seat
We go through some ups and downs
And might even have a few curves we don't see
I end up at home every time
'Cause God got his hand on my life and he guide me, yeah

That's why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It's stirring up my soul
That's why I love running wild through country miles
They're out of style, they take a while
But every winding ride'll lead me home
That's why I love dirt roads

Talk to God on 'em
We get lost on 'em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em
We get stuck on 'em
Fall in love on 'em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That's why I love dirt roads
Whoa, whoa
That's why I love dirt roads
That's why I love dirt roads
