GG/F#
There's a town by a river
EmDCC/BAmD
And a dirt road that runs through the town, winding around
GG/F#
And As a child I would daydream
EmDCC/BAmG
Where that road might take me when my time for leaving came down
GG/F#EmC
And each night I'd awaken from a dream I was taking
GDG
That old dirt road out of this town
CDBEm
Sweet memories keep haunting me
CGAmD
Calling me like an old friend
GG/F#
And I pray that someday
EmC
I'll ride this halfway
GDG
'Til it turns to that dirt road again
GG/F#
Now I live in city
EmDCC/BAmD
With manmade mountains of steel to block out the sky
GG/F#
And that river of traffic
EmDCC/BAmD
That runs by my window never seems to run dry
GG/F#EmC
And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping
GDG
That old place that I left behind
ChorusCD
In the city tonight
BEm
When I turn out the light
GDG
I'll be riding that old dirt road again
