Written and Released in 1990 by Oak Ridge Boy's baritone William Lee Golden
CAPO I
INTRO:
Em A D C D
VERSE 1:
D G D G
Pulled out the driveway past an old tar paper shack
D Bm Em A
Standing at her mail box -- an old woman waves as I look back
G Em A D A Bm
I'm gonna miss my family and I'll need all the letters that they'll send
Em A D
It's gonna be a long time before I travel down this red dirt road again
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
Louisiana red dirt highway -- I've been down a million times
Em A D
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take 'em with me in my mind
G A D Bm
I'm gonna take'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
Em A D
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
VERSE 2:
D G D G
The mudgrips would make their own designs and they'd zig-zag for miles
D Bm Em A
And the one lane bridge that runs across the creek that I swan in as a child
G A D Bm
The sawmill was thirty miles away and my daddy brought it wood
Em A D
And Mama done the cookin' and the cleanin' and taught us what was good
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
Louisiana red dirt highway -- I've been down a million times
Em A D
With the tin barns and the pine trees I'm gonna take 'em with me in my mind
G A D Bm
I'm gonna take'em to the city where a man can make good money so they say
Em A D Bm
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay -- Hey Heyy
Em A D G
I'm already pretty lonesome and my tires ain't even slung off all the clay
