Lyrics

Daddy started every day in a clean work shirt
at the north end of a south bound mule
Sun up to supper pourin money in that dirt
saying someday sun this will all be long to you
And when the bankers and the builders come around
remember your daddy always stood his ground

Cause its my dirt here on my shirt
from a days work diggin out a livein again
where my kids and my crops and my dreams all grow
it aint much but by God its my home
and on the day my day comes to an end
make sure it's my DIRT you put me in.

Now daddy's restin underneath that maple in the grove
and im south bound on an old John Deer
Holdin back the tide tryin to keep this place a float
im in Dirt and debt up to my ears
Mommas in the kitchen suppeers made
im dirty and im tired but thats okay

Cause its my dirt here on my shirt
from a days work diggin out a livein again
where my kids and my crops and my dreams all grow
it aint much but by God its my home
and on the day my day comes to an end
make sure it's my DIRT you put me in.

It aint just dirt your standin on
its my way of life
aint no way im movin on
call it faith call it crazy call it pride
but its my dirt

where my kids and my crops and my dreams all grow
it aint much but by God its my home
and on the day my day comes to an end
make sure it's my DIRT you put me in.
