G C  Bm D (2x)

        Em    C            G
Daddy worked hard for his dollar
                    Em   C             D
He said some folks don't,   but that's O.K.
            Em  C                G
They won't know   which road to follow
                  Em    D               G
Because an easy street might lead you astray

[Chorus]
G              C                     G  
I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know
              D
I've been a'walking it for years
                          G
It's gone where I need to go
          C                         G 
It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
F        Em     C        F         Em     C   
So I'll take my time and life won't pass me by
              F    Em     C  D               G    C Bm D 2x
'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt road

G        Em   C                G 
I have lived life in the fast lane
                     Em  C                D
You gotta watch your back    and look both ways
                   Em       C                 G
When it's said and done the time we have is borrowed
                      Em          D              G
You better make real sure you're headed the right way
