Dirt Road Anthem Nights Lyrics & video

Intro

Yeah
Backroad smoke
Moonshine glow
Out here where the pavement ends
You already know

Verse 1

I was raised where the law don’t always ride through
Where the dust kicks up and the boots got truth
Where a handshake strong and the word still matters
And a broke-down dream can still climb ladders

Got mud on the tires, scars on the paint
Couple old sins that I won’t repaint
Mama prayed hard, daddy worked late
I learned real fast you don’t fold under weight

Banjo in the back with the bass turned up
Old truck shaking when the 808 thump
Country boy flow with a trap drum swing
Outlaw blood, but I still got dreams

We ain’t polished, we ain’t clean
We got dirt on the jeans and fire in the genes
If you ever felt free where the road turns dust
Then you know these nights still belong to us

Pre-Chorus

Turn it up when the night gets wild
Small town crowd with a rebel smile
Hands up when the beat drops low
Country soul with an outlaw flow

Verse 2

We used to chase that sunset past the county line
Radio cracked, but the bass hit fine
Windows down with the cold air creeping
Dreams in the cab while the whole town sleeping

Some got judged cause they looked too rough
Some had less, but they still stood tough
Some left home, some stayed around
But we all got roots buried deep in the ground

This for the ones with the dust on their name
Still got pride when they walk through pain
This for the kids with a dream too loud
For a small-town street and a two-stop crowd

We got rebel in the blood, faith in the chest
Long road living, but we still feel blessed
Ain’t no silver spoon, just a rusted key
And a wild little dream trying to set us free

Pre-Chorus

Turn it up when the night gets wild
Small town crowd with a rebel smile
Hands up when the beat drops low
Country soul with an outlaw flow

Bridge

Take me back where the road gets rough
Where the smoke hangs low and the bass kicks up
Where the moon sits heavy on an old fence line
And the whole world fades for a little while

Take me back to the wild side
Where the good ones dance and the outlaws ride
If I get lost in them city lights
I’ll find my way through dirt road nights

Outro

Yeah
Dirt road nights
Outlaw soul
Country roots
Trap drums low

We ride slow
We dream high
Backroad living
Under rebel skies
