Paragraph Lyric

Daddy worked hard for his dollar
He said some folks don't, but that's o.k.
They won't know which road to follow
Because an easy street might lead you astray

Chorus:
I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know
I've been a'walking it for years
It's gone where I need to go
It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time
And life won't pass me by
'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt road

I have lived life in the fast lane
You gotta watch your back and look both ways
When it's said and done the time we have is borrowed
You better make real sure you're headed the right way

Chorus x2

On the dirt road
  Daddy worked hard for his dollar  He said some folks don't, but that's o.k.  They won't know which road to follow  Because an easy street might lead you astray    Chorus:  I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know  I've been a'walking it for years  It's gone where I need to go  It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be  So I'll take my time  And life won't pass me by  'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt road    I have lived life in the fast lane  You gotta watch your back and look both ways  When it's said and done the time we have is borrowed  You better make real sure you're headed the right way    Chorus x2    On the dirt road
