D               G            
Four year's old my birthday, I 
A                  D
opened presents, ate some cake
                 G                 
I took my Tonka straight outside to
  A       D
 play in dirt.
               G                A 
Six years old, hard line drive, 
             D
that ball just sailed on by
                  G                
'Cause I was busy writing that name
    A       D
 of mine in dirt.

[Chorus]
       G              A           
It was my first love, good as 
  D
gold, heaven was a shovel and a two 
foot hole
G                            
Mama should have bought all my 
  A                D
clothes in brown,'cause I'd turn 'em
 that color anyhow
     G                          
In between the car and the front 
               A
steps of that church was dirt

                         G         
Turned sixteen, bought a Chevrolet,
 A                        D
 four wheel drive, what a happy day
              G              A    
So even if it rained I could play 
   D
in dirt
                    G           
Couple years later, wouldn't you 
       A                      D
know, I lost my heart at the rodeo
She fell off her horse and was 
G               A      D
covered head to toe in dirt

[Chorus]
       G              A           
It was my first love, good as 
  D
gold, heaven was a shovel and a two 
foot hole
         G                   A    
It's the reason I'm out here 
                      D
tilling this land and that rodeo 
queen's got a ring on her hand
        G                      
I don't know where I'd be if it 
 A
weren't for dirt

Well, I ain't afraid of growing 
          D
old, 'cause when I die I know where 
I'll go
G                      A          
There'll be no need to cry for me, I
 D
 won't need your sympathy
          G                        
When they cover me up with six feet
    A
 of earth, it's just dirt
