      D
I was raised off of Rural Route 3,

    A
out past where the blacktop ends,

D
We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin'

         G
and race barefoot back to Johnson's fence

D
    That's where I first saw Mary,

A
    On that roadside pickin' blackberries,

Bm                                G                   A        D
   that summer I turned a corner in my soul down that red dirt road
[Chorus]
(D)
It's where I drank my first beer,

A
    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
    Is full of sinners and believers,

Bm
    Learned that happiness on earth,

      G
Ain't just for high achievers,

     Em                    D/F#
I've learned, I've come to know,

                G         A                  D   A   Bm
there's life at both ends   of that red dirt road
[Verse 2]
     D
Her daddy didn't like me much,

      A
In 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
    Drive by the moonlight,

Bm                                   G
    Talk about what the future might hold,

          A        D
Down that red dirt road,
[Chorus]
(D)
It's where I drank my first beer,

A
    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
    Is full of sinners and believers,

Bm
    Learned that happiness on earth,

      G
Ain't just for high achievers,

     Em                    D/F#
I've learned, I've come to know,

                G         A
there's life at both ends   of that red dirt road
[Solo] | D | A | Bm | G | | D | A | Bm | Bm | [Bridge]
       Em             D/F#
I went out into the world,

      G
And I came back in,

Em           D/F#
    I lost Mary,

              G
Oh, I got her back again

Em                     D/F#
    And driving home tonight

                     G         A    Asus4
Feels like I found a long lost friend,
[Chorus]
D
    It's where I drank my first beer,

A
    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
    Is full of sinners and believers,

Bm
    Learned that happiness on earth,

      G
Ain't just for high achievers,

     Em                    D/F#
I've learned, I've come to know,

                G         A
there's life at both ends   of that red dirt road
[Outro] | D | A | Bm | Bm |
          Em                    D/F#
Yes, I've learned, I've come to know,

                G         A
there's life at both ends   of that red dirt road
