Old Dirt Road

(Key: D Major)
(Tempo: Slow, warm, nostalgic)

[Verse 1]

D
Kicked up dust in the rearview glass,
A
Memories rollin’ like fields of grass,
Bm
Fence posts lean where the wild wind blows,
G A D
Back down that old dirt road.

[Verse 2]

D
Barefoot summers and front porch songs,
A
Midnight secrets where hearts belong,
Bm
Still hear the laughter, soft and low,
G A D
Back down that old dirt road.

[Chorus]

G D
Old dirt road, take me home,
A Bm
Back to the place where I belong,
G D
Dust in my hair, dreams in my load,
A G D
Lead me back, old dirt road.

[Verse 3]

D
Skippin’ stones on the river bend,
A
Carvin’ our names like it’d never end,
Bm
Lost some years, but I still know,
G A D
The way down that old dirt road.

[Chorus]

G D
Old dirt road, take me home,
A Bm
Back to the place where I belong,
G D
Dust in my hair, dreams in my load,
A G D
Lead me back, old dirt road.

[Bridge]

Bm G
Time may fly and towns may grow,
D A
But some things only our hearts know,
Bm G
Every turn, every mile,
Em A
Still feels like a Sunday smile.

[Final Chorus]

G D
Old dirt road, take me home,
A Bm
Back to the place where I belong,
G D
Dust in my hair, dreams in my load,
A G D
Lead me back, old dirt road.

[Outro]

A G D
Lead me back, old dirt road.

🎸 Musical Feel:
Gentle acoustic guitar, maybe a steel guitar whispering softly.
Drums brushed lightly, warm vocal tone, almost like you’re singing it to an old friend.
Simple, heartfelt, timeless.
