[Verse 1]
D
I was raised off of Rural Route 3
A/Db
Out past where the blacktop ends
D
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
G
Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
D
That's where I first saw Mary
A/Db
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
Bm G
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
A D
Down that red dirt road
[Chorus]
It's where I drank my first beer
A/Db
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/Db
Is full of sinners and believers
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth
G
Ain't just for high achievers
Em Gbm
I've learned, I've come to know
G
There's life at both ends
A D
Of that red dirt road
[Verse 2]
A/Db Bm G D
Her daddy didn't like me much
A/Db
With 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/Db
Drive by the moonlight
Bm G
Talk about what the future might hold
A D
Down that red dirt road
[Chorus]
It's where I drank my first beer
A/Db
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/Db
Is full of sinners and believers
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth
G
Ain't just for high achievers
Em Gbm
I've learned, I've come to know
G
There's life at both ends
A D
Of that red dirt road

[Bridge]
Em Gbm
I went out into the world
G
And I came back in
Em Gbm
I lost Mary
G
Oh, I got her back again
Em
And driving home tonight
Gbm G A
Feels like I've found a long lost friend
[Chorus]
D
It's where I drank my first beer
A/Db
It's where I found Jesus
Bm
Where I wrecked my first car
G D
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven
A/Db
Is full of sinners and believers
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth
G
Ain't just for high achievers
Em Gbm
I've learned, I've come to know
G
There's life at both ends
A D A/Db
Of that red dirt road
[Post-Chorus]
Bm Em Gbm
Yes I've learned, I've come to know
G
There's life at both ends
A D
Of that red dirt road
