My daddy used to curse that ground But he still put the money down on a Shotgun trailer house on the outskirts Of a town nobody knows Was born blessed, but I couldn't tell I grew up fast and fought like hell to get Out of there, anywhere I didn't care, but I had to go It might be a little rose-colored glasses But it seems like every year that passes I'm thinkin' more about way back when I didn't know it back then but It was heaven on dirt Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work Might not be for everyone But that red still runs in my blood The beer was cold, the trucks were old The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt I kissed my first love in the front yard On the hood of my first used car, had some Good nights with some good friends And mud tires on holy ground I moved out and we lost touch I didn't know you meant so much But you don't know what you're missing when you ain't around You don't know what you got 'til they tear it down It was heaven on dirt Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work Might not be for everyone But that red still runs in my blood The beer was cold, the trucks were old The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt Oh, it was heaven on dirt It might be a little rose-colored glasses But it seems like every year that passes I'm thinkin' more about way back when I didn't know it back then but It was heaven on dirt Ain't no place on Earth Like that forty acre plot Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work Might not be for everyone But that red still runs in my blood The beer was cold, the trucks were old The dust was gold, it was heaven on dirt Oh, it was heaven on dirt
