Nash New Tune At Noon 11-11-19 – Granger Smith “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads”

This song isn’t about his son River, but he has most definitely been woven into the second verse.

Lyrics

Midnight Milkyway
Through a cracked windshield
The highways never know
How free this feels

I learned to drive out here
My grandpa let me steer
I still hear
“Both hands on the wheel”

Talk to God on ’em
We get lost on ’em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on ’em
We get stuck on ’em
Fall in love on ’em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That’s why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It’s stirring up my soul
That’s why I love running wild
Through country miles
They’re out of style
They take a while
But every winding ride’ll lead me home
That’s why I love dirt roads
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chasing a painted sky

And river winding curves

Can’t help but feel like my
Heaven here on earth, yeah

Out here in the quiet
I know you hear me
‘Cause stars are smiling
I feel you near me

Talk to God on ’em
We get lost on ’em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on ’em
We get stuck on ’em
Fall in love on ’em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That’s why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It’s stirring up my soul
That’s why I love running wild
Through country miles
They’re out of style
They take a while
But every winding ride’ll lead me home
That’s why I love dirt roads
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
That’s why I love dirt roads

Sometimes they’re beat up and broken
Scattered and tossed in the breeze
But not matters their scars it don’t change what they are
And that sounds a little like me

And that’s why I love dirt roads
And that’s why I love dirt roads

That’s why I love dirt roads
Make the world turn real slow
Feel the gravel letting go
It’s stirring up my soul
That’s why I love running wild
Through country miles
They’re out of style
They take a while
But every winding ride’ll lead me home
That’s why I love dirt roads

Talk to God on ’em
We get lost on ’em
Find our way to a rocky mountain top on ’em
We get stuck on ’em
Fall in love on ’em
Rough around the edges, just like us

That’s why I love dirt roads
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
That’s why I love dirt roads
That’s why I love dirt roads
