Red Dirt Texas

Well, there ain't a whole lot of sophistication

There's a Whataburger and a gas station

You could smell the smoke down at Bare Bones Barbecue

You gotta love it just to put up with the hundred degrees

And the blowin' dust

It's BFE with a whole lotta attitude

It's just red dirt Texas

Blink and you missed it

Flat broke and way too proud

Livin' paycheck to paycheck

Raisin' hell and long necks

Someday they'll put me in the ground

Of that red dirt Texas town

The weekend's our one vacation

It's been that way for generations

Hard work's the only life we know

They plug in that old string and lights

At the BFW on Saturday nights

It's our one chance to just let it all go

It's just red dirt Texas

Blink and you missed it

Flat broke and way too proud

Livin' paycheck to paycheck

Raisin' hell and long necks

Someday they'll put me in the ground

Of that red dirt Texas town

Oh, yeah it sticks to your boots

It sticks to your truck

Gets in your soul and gets in your blood

One thing you can't wash out

Is that red dirt Texas

Leave and you'll miss it

Yeah, you'll come back around

'Cause it's that red dirt Texas

Blink and you missed it

Flat broke and way too proud

Livin' paycheck to paycheck

Raisin' hell and long necks

Someday they'll put me in the ground

Of that red dirt Texas

Blink and you missed it

That red dirt Texas town

It's just red dirt Texas
