[Intro] | D A | Bm | | D A | Bm | [Verse] D I was raised off of Rural Route 3, A out past where the blacktop ends, D We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin' G and race barefoot back to Johnson's fence D That's where I first saw Mary, A On that roadside pickin' blackberries, Bm G A D that summer I turned a corner in my soul down that red dirt road [Chorus] D It's where I drank my first beer, A It's where I found Jesus, Bm Where I wrecked my first car G I tore it all to pieces, D I learned the path to heaven, A It's full of sinners and believers, Bm Learned that happiness on earth, G Ain't just for high achievers, Em F#m I've learned, I've come to know, G A D there's life at both ends of that red dirt road [Verse] D Her daddy didn't like me much, A In my shackled up GTO, D I'd sneak out in the middle of the night, G Throw rocks at her bedroom window, D We'd turn out the headlights, A Drive by the moonlight, Bm G Talk about what the future might hold, A D Down that red dirt road, [Chorus] D It's where I drank my first beer, A It's where I found Jesus, Bm Where I wrecked my first car G I tore it all to pieces, D I learned the path to heaven, A It's full of sinners and believers, Bm Learned that happiness on earth, G Ain't just for high achievers, Em F#m I've learned, I've come to know, G A there's life at both ends of that red dirt road [Solo] | D | A | Bm | G | | D | A | Bm | G | [Bridge] Em F#m I went out into the world, G And I came back in, Em F#m I lost Mary, G Oh, I got her back again Em F#m And driving home tonight G A Asus4 Feels like I found a long lost friend, [Chorus] D It's where I drank my first beer, A It's where I found Jesus, Bm Where I wrecked my first car G I tore it all to pieces, D I learned the path to heaven, A Is full of sinners and believers, Bm Learned that happiness on earth, G Ain't just for high achievers, Em F#m I've learned, I've come to know, G A there's life at both ends of that red dirt road [Outro] | D | A | Bm | Bm | Em F#m Yes, I've learned, I've come to know, G A there's life at both ends of that red dirt road [Solo] | D | A | Bm | G | | D | A | Bm | G | D
