Dirt Road Diary

G                           D                    Cadd9
Me and daddy ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet.
G                                       D         Cadd9
Old lab would jump out the back and fetch 'em up.
G                               D                      Cadd9
We'd drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial.
G                      D                       Cadd9
One little country station was all there was.
Em7                D                                   Cadd9
Checking gates, fixing fence and roads, that's how my story goes.

[Chorus]
Em7              D                         Cadd9
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
Em7                D                     Cadd9
It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
Em7                    D                          Cadd9
Tan legs and some Dixieland delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
Em7           D                 Cadd9 (strum once)
I was there, that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary.

G  D    Cadd9

[Verse 2]
G                       D                         Cadd9
I remember when I turned sixteen; I got a license and some gasoline.
G                     D                              Cadd9
Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down.
G                               D                       Cadd9
If wasn't the boys it was me and her by fire in a field or down by the river.
G                       D                     Cadd9
Every inch of that county was sacred ground.
Em7                          D
Wish I knew where that old truck was.
Cadd9
If it could talk it could tell on us.

[Chorus]
Em7              D                         Cadd9
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
Em7                D                     Cadd9
It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
Em7                    D                          Cadd9
Tan legs and some Dixieland delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
Em7           D                 Cadd9
I was there, that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary.

[Bridge]
G       D                       Cadd9
    It ain't a book underneath my bed;
       Em7          D                  Cadd9
Just a dusty memory lane burned in my head.

[Solo]
G   D   Cadd9    x2

[Chorus]
Em7                    D                          Cadd9
Tan legs and some Dixieland delight, ridin' round, windows down, feelin' right.
Em7           D                 Cadd9
I was there, that was me. It's right here in my dirt road diary.
Em7               D                       Cadd9 (strum once)
  Just ride around my little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary.
