Red Dirt Road

Do you remember, not long ago

When we could just up and fly away?

Now things are different, now we must plan

We do our work before we play

That clear blue-green water will soon be in sight

We'll take as long as it may take

'Cause we have each other, and it's only right

That we persevere, for goodness sake

Right now, we sow those seeds

But oh, my, just wait and see

When we get on down that mountainside

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water, then you'll know

You don't need no diamond ring

You don't need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

I'm only human, I'm just a man

I seek contentment when I can

So when I am weary, head in my hand

I think about my earthly promise land

I'd like to cut to the chase

But I know we've got to wait

'Til we get on down that mountainside

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water, then you'll know

You don't need no diamond ring

You don't need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

It won't be quite the same

Once we were young and wild

But one thing will never change

It's that burning in our hearts

You know it's been there from the start

Right now, we sow those seeds

But oh, my, just wait and see

'Til we get on down that mountainside

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water, then you'll know

You don't need no diamond ring

You don't need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

You don't need a single thing

Just get up and go

There's a rainbow down that red dirt road

When you walk on down that red dirt road

When you walk on down that red dirt road
