Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crossed the county line at half past five
Sun was settin' on the passenger side
Same old water tower, same old sign
Welcome home to where I left behind
Passed the church where mama got baptized
The football field under Friday night lights
Every mile is like a memory on rewind
Taking me back to a simpler time
[Chorus]
These red dirt roads know my name
They watched me leave, they called me back again
Through the corn and the cotton and the summer rain
These red dirt roads run through my veins
No matter how far I go, I can't escape
These red dirt roads will always feel like grace
[Verse 2]
There's the diner where I had my first date
The parking lot where I learned to tailgate
The old oak tree where I carved his name
Some things around here never really change
City lights were bright but they felt so cold
Nothing like this sunset made of gold
I thought I needed more than this old town
But everything I need is what I found
[Chorus]
These red dirt roads know my name
They watched me leave, they called me back again
Through the corn and the cotton and the summer rain
These red dirt roads run through my veins
No matter how far I go, I can't escape
These red dirt roads will always feel like grace
[Bridge]
I've seen the skylines and the city crowds
But nothing feels as loud
As the quiet of this place I'm from
Where I know I still belong
[Final Chorus]
These red dirt roads know my name
They watched me leave, they pulled me back again
Through the memories, the laughter, and the pain
These red dirt roads run through my veins
No matter how far I go, I'll always come back
To these red dirt roads, they're my home, they're my map
[Outro]
Red dirt roads... red dirt roads...
