Heaven On Dirt - Teddy Robb

Composed by：Brandon Ratcliff/Pete Good/A.J. Babcock/Ben Foster

My daddy used to curse that ground

But he still put the money down on a

Shotgun trailer house on the outskirts

Of a town nobody knows

Was born blessed but I couldn't tell

I grew up fast and fought like hell to get

Out of there anywhere

I didn't care but I had to go

It might be a little rose-colored glasses

But it seems like every year that passes

I'm thinkin' more about way back when

I didn't know it back then but

It was heaven on dirt

Ain't no place on Earth

Like that forty acre plot

Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work

Might not be for everyone

But that red still runs in my blood

The beer was cold the trucks were old

The dust was gold it was heaven on dirt

I kissed my first love in the front yard

On the hood of my first used car had some

Good nights with some good friends

And mud tires on holy ground

I moved out and we lost touch

I didn't know you meant so much

But you don't know what you're missing when you ain't around

You don't know what you got 'til they tear it down

It was heaven on dirt

Ain't no place on Earth

Like that forty acre plot

Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work

Might not be for everyone

But that red still runs in my blood

The beer was cold the trucks were old

The dust was gold it was heaven on dirt

Oh it was heaven on dirt

It might be a little rose-colored glasses

But it seems like every year that passes

I'm thinkin' more about way back when

I didn't know it back then but

It was heaven on dirt

Ain't no place on Earth

Like that forty acre plot

Where you talked to God 'cause your cell phone didn't work

Might not be for everyone

But that red still runs in my blood

The beer was cold the trucks were old

The dust was gold it was heaven on dirt

Oh it was heaven on dirt
