Heaven On Dirt

G C G My daddy used to curse that ground But he still put the money down on a C Shotgun trailer house on the outskirts Of a town nobody knows G Was born blessed, but I couldn't tell I grew up fast and fought like hell to get C Out of there, anywhere I didn't care, but I had to go G It might be a little rose-colored glasses But it seems like every year that passes C I'm thinkin' more about way back when I didn't know it back then but G Em It was heaven on dirt C G Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Em C Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work G Might not be for everyone Em C G But that red still runs in my blood Em The beer was cold, the trucks were old C The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt G G I kissed my first love in the front yard On the hood of my first used car, had some C Good nights with some good friends And mud tires on holy ground G I moved out and we lost touch I didn't know you meant so much C But you don't know what you're missing when you ain't around You don't know what you got 'til they tear it down G Em It was heaven on dirt C G Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Em C Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work G Might not be for everyone Em C G But that red still runs in my blood Em The beer was cold, the trucks were old C G Em The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt C G Em C Oh, it was heaven on dirt G It might be a little rose-colored glasses But it seems like every year that passes C I'm thinkin' more about way back when I didn't know it back then but G Em It was heaven on dirt C G Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Em C Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work G Might not be for everyone Em C G But that red still runs in my blood Em The beer was cold, the trucks were old C G Em The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt C G Em C Oh, it was heaven on dirt
