[Intro]
| D  A  | Bm    |
| D  A  | Bm    |

[Verse]
      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
     It's full of sinners and believers,
Bm
    Learned that happiness on earth,
      G
Ain't just for high achievers,
     Em                    F#m
I've learned, I've come to know,
                G         A                     D
there's life at both ends    of that red dirt road

[Verse]
     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
     It's full of sinners and believers,
Bm
    Learned that happiness on earth,
      G
Ain't just for high achievers,
     Em                    F#m
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  | G   |

[Bridge]
       Em             F#m
I went out into the world,
      G
And I came back in,
Em         F#m
    I lost Mary,
               G
Oh, I got her back again
Em                     F#m
    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                    F#m
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                    F#m
Yes, 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  | G   |
  D
