Dirt

D G -------------------------2-| D How many times has that field been turned over G Just to put another seed in the ground D And how many horses put tracks in the mud G Pullin' an old rusty plow A G Them pines that surround it withstood many storms A G D Grandpa used to say "one day it'll all be yours" D Now I'm here G Walkin' on something that I own the Earth 'Cause I was born from it D And everyone else they been called back home G G And I've been left to carry on Bm A G G I'm back for that I get to be here and put in this work N.C. D D On this dirt D There's a red bird perched on the Muscadine grapevine G That was planted before I was born D And there's a concrete lead coverin' up a well G That was dug a before the first World War A G A half burned tobacco barn left to fall in A G A farm all the still runs who abduct to a disc D Way out here G Walkin' on something that I own the Earth 'Cause I was born from it D And everyone else they been called home G And I've been left to try to carry on Bm A G G And I'm thankful that I get to be here and put in this work N.C. D D On this dirt Bm A And one day I'll leave it to somebody to G And I hope that they love it as much as I do D Way out here G Walkin' on something that I own the Earth 'Cause I was born from it D And everyone else they've been called back home G And I've been left to carry on Bm A G Yeah, I look around and miss the one's that built this and good Lord it hurts (Hurts, hurts, hurts) Bm A G G And I'm thankful that I get to be here and put in this work D On this dirt D --------------4-0-|
