Old Dirt Road winding up the valley
Brought me far from any home I’d known
In youth I left my friends and family
For to see the world and for to roam
Well, it’s one patch much as any other
There’s some truth in what they tell
It’s anywhere you find friends and lovers
You miss them when you say farewell
Old Dirt Road…
….Old Dirt Road
I’ll go down to desert country
See the people in my old town
listen to the river bubbling
And watch the mountain burn
I think I’ll go and see my father
One more time before he’s gone
I’ll tell my mother not to worry
You know I’ll manage, I’ll carry on
Old Dirt Road…
….Old Dirt Road
In the morning I take some coffee
In the night time I drink the wine
And all the lovers who’ve laid beside me
Pass before my darkened mind
And when I look into the mirror
It’s marred a little from lost love and shame
No, it’s not a faithful reflection
But it’s seen some use all the same
Old Dirt Road found me running
Neither fast, neither slow
Sometimes patient, sometimes demanding
Took me somewhere I never thought I’d go
Old Dirt Road left me standing
Wondering just where I’ve been
Staring out onto the wilderness
Listening for a trembling dream
The future has come so quickly
Just as I was pondering the past
And spread out ahead of me
Old Dirt Road knew it wouldn’t last
I’d have been back for what I left there
Old Dirt Road, if I’d only known
I’d have given away what I Gathered
And had the harvest from what I’d sown
