You get your hands in it, plant your roots in it
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it
You write her name on it, spin your tires on it
Build your corn field, whiskey bonfires on it
You bet your life on it
It's that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she pealed off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good ha it hurts
Makes you wanna builda 10% down white picket fence house on this dirt
You mix some sweat with it, taking a shovel to it
You stuck some crosses and painted goal posts through it (damn)
You know you came from it and someday you'll return to
It's that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she pealed off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good ha it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10% down white picket fence house on this dirt
You know you came from it and someday you'll return to it
It's that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she pealed off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good ha it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10% down white picket fence house on this dirt
