Lyrics

"The Old Dirt Road"
written by Ray Lani (BMI)(NSAI)

When I was young
I'd walk the old dirt road
to talk to God
and think about my life
I'd walk alone
with trees on either side
with pinecones on the ground
and see the light
I'd see the light from the sun
shining through the trees
I'd hear the voice of the wind
reminding me I'm free
when I was feeling low
and needed somewhere to go

(chorus)
The old dirt road
would bring me peace of mind
the old dirt road
was a friend of mine

and I'd play ball
almost everyday
at summertime
on the old dirt road
with friends of mine
I'd play till mom called out
"it's time to eat right now"
and I'd go home
and I'd go home for awhile
but soon I would be back
to join my friends in the game
to take another hack
when I was feeling low
this was the place I would go

(chorus)then(solo) on verse

I'd see the light from the sun
shining through the trees
I'd hear the voice of the wind
reminding me I'm free
when I was feeling low
and needed somewhere to go

(chorus)repeat and fade
