Daddy worked hard for his dollar
He said some folks don't but that's okay
Well, they won't know which road to follow
Because an easy street might lead you astrayI'll take the dirt road it's all I know
I've been walking it for years
It's gone where I need to goOh, it ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time and life won't pass me by
'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt roadI have lived life in the fast lane
You gotta watch your back and look both ways
When it's said and done the time we have is borrowed
You better make real sure you're headed the right wayI'll take the dirt road it's all I know
I've been walking it for years
It's gone where I need to goOh, it ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time and life won't pass me by
'Cause it's right there to findI'll take the dirt road it's all I know
I've been walking it for years
It's gone where I need to goOh, it ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time and life won't pass me by
'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt roadOn the dirt road
