Old Dirt Road Lyrics by Rhett Akins

A Thousand Memories

1995

[Verse 1]
There's an old dirt road off of thirty-three
Lord it's been so long since it's seen me
But I've put many a mile across it's back
I used to kick up dust in the summertime
Runnin' the Georgia-Florida line
A teenage runaway train jumpin' off the track
Had the windows rolled down and beer cans flyin'
Bocephus on the knob and a coon dog cryin'
[Chorus]
And those days are gone in my rearview
Lord all the scenes have changed and the roads are all brand new
When my homesick heart gets the best of me
I hit that old dirt road off of thirty-three
[Verse 2]
I was running with a bunch of friends of mine
Nothin' to do but shoot old stop signs
Half the time with the law hot on our heels
Well we get cleaned up and go lookin' around
For a carload of girls to follow us down
To a run-down cabin and a party back in the fields
Oh God bless mama, she never had a clue
But I got a feelin' that my daddy knew
[Chorus]
And those days are gone in my rearview
Lord all the scenes have changed and the roads are all brand new
When my homesick heart gets the best of me
I hit that old dirt road off of thirty-three
[Chorus]
Now those days are gone in my rearview
Lord all the scenes have changed and the roads are all brand new
When my homesick heart gets the best of me
I hit that old dirt road off of thirty-three
[Tag]
I hit that old dirt road off of thirty-three
