Introduction:  G   D   C9  

 G                                                     D                                       C9 
Me and daddy ride around all day shooting doves off a line in a Chevrolet.
 G                                                                             D                                                                     C9 
Old lab would jump out the back and fetch 'em up.
 G                                                             D                                           C9 
We'd drive for miles and miles and never once hit blacktop or change the dial.
 G                                           D                                                             C9 
One little country station was all there was.
 Em7                               D                                                                   C9 
Checking gates, fixing fence and roads that's how my story goes.
 Em7                           D                                                 C9 
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.
 Em7                               D                                         C9 
It's right there for you to see, every kiss, every beer, every cotton field memory.
 Em7                                         D                                                   C9 
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.
 Em7                     D                                 C9(strum 
I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.

 G                                             D                                                 C9 
I remember when I turned sixteen  I got a license and some gasoline.
 G                                         D                                                                         C9 
Ain't a curve or a straight away we didn't fly down.
 G                                                             D                                             C9 
If wasn't the boys it was me and her by fire in a field or down by the river.
 G                                             D                                                             C9 
Every inch of that county was sacred ground.
 Em7                                                   D 
Wish I knew where that old truck was.
 C9 
If it could talk it could tell on us.
 Em7                           D                                                 C9 
If you want to know the real me, just turn the page in my dirt road diary.

 G                             D                                                             C9 
          It ain't a book underneath my bed 
 Em7                                                 D                                 C9 
Just a dusty memory lane in my head.

 Em7                                         D                                                   C9 
Tan legs and some Dixie land delight, ridin' round, windows down on a summer night.

I was there, that was me. Its right here in my dirt road diary.
 Em7                                       D                                                 C9(strum 
Just ride around this little town and you'll see how I wrote my dirt road diary.
