[Verse 1]

Me and daddy'd ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet

Old lab would jump out the back and fetch them up

We would drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial

One little country station was all there was

Checking gates, fixing fence and roads

That is how my story goes

[Chorus]

If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary

It's right there for you to see

Every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory

Tan legs and some Dixie Land delight

Ridin' round, windows down on a summer night

I was there, that was me

It's right here in my dirt road diary

[Verse 2]

I remember when I turned sixteen; I got a license and some gasoline

Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down

If it wasn't the boys, it was me and her by fire in a field or down on the river

Every inch of that county was sacred ground

I wish I knew where that old truck was

If it could talk, it could tell on us

[Chorus]

If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary

It's right there for you to see

Every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory

Tan legs and some Dixie Land delight

Ridin' round, windows down on a summer night

I was there, that was me

It's right here in my dirt road diary

[Bridge]

It ain't a book underneath my bed

Just a dusty memory lane burned in my head

[Chorus]

Tan legs and some Dixie land delight

Ridin' round, windows down, feelin' right

I was there, that was me

It's right here in my dirt road diary

Just ride around my little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary
