Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Midnight Milky Way

Through a cracked windshield

The highways never know

How free this feels

I learned to drive out here

My grandpa let me steer

I still hear, "Both hands on the wheel"

[PreChorus]

Talk to God on 'em

We get lost on 'em

Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em

We get stuck on 'em

Fall in love on 'em

Rough around the edges, just like us

[Chorus]

That's why I love dirt roads

Make the world turn real slow

Feel the gravel letting go

It's stirring up my soul

That's why I love running wild

Through country miles

They're out of style, they take a while

But every winding ride'll lead me home

That's why I love dirt roads

Whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]

Chasing a painted sky

And river winding curves

Can't help but feel like my

Heaven here on Earth

[Verse 3]

Yeah, out here in the quiet

I know you hear me

The stars are smiling

I feel you near me

[PreChorus]

Talk to God on 'em

We get lost on 'em

Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em

We get stuck on 'em

Fall in love on 'em

Rough around the edges, just like us

[Chorus]

That's why I love dirt roads

Make the world turn real slow

Feel the gravel letting go

It's stirring up my soul

That's why I love running wild

Through country miles

They're out of style, they take a while

But every winding ride'll lead me home

That's why I love dirt roads

Whoa, whoa

That's why I love dirt roads

[Verse 4]

Sometimes they're beat up and broken

Scattered and tossed in the breeze

But no matter their scars

It doesn't change what they are

And that sounds a little like me

And that's why I love dirt roads

Yeah, that's why I love dirt roads

[Chorus]

That's why I love dirt roads

Make the world turn real slow

Feel the gravel letting go

It's stirring up my soul

That's why I love running wild

Through country miles

They're out of style, they take a while

But every winding ride'll lead me home

That's why I love dirt roads

[PreChorus]

Talk to God on 'em

We get lost on 'em

Find our way to a rocky mountain top on 'em

We get stuck on 'em

Fall in love on 'em

Rough around the edges, just like us

[Chorus]

That's why I love dirt roads

Whoa, whoa

That's why I love dirt roads

That's why I love dirt roads
