Ol’ Dirt Road To 11/11

[Verse 1]
Back in oh-nine in that small-town hall
Fourteen years old, heart too tall
She was thirteen, brown eyes set
Said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Ivette” (oh yeah)
Six months felt like a first forever
Hand-me-down truck, we rode together
Then life pulled hard, we lost that thread
Her name stayed stuck inside my head
[Chorus]
Now it’s you and me on an ol’ dirt road
From kids in love to a full-house home
Took a long way ‘round, but the good Lord knows
He was drawin’ lines we couldn’t see
From that teenage kiss I can’t forget
To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette
Every mile, every wrong, every right we get
Led me back to you, Ivette
[Verse 2]
Heard the news, you had a boy so young
Sixteen years and the hard stuff comes
Little Danddy with your same smile
I prayed you’d both be safe a while
Years rolled on like a two-lane fade
Different dreams, different roads we paved
Then twenty-twenty-two lit up my phone
“Hey, how you been?” and I drove back home
[Chorus]
Now it’s you and me on an ol’ dirt road
From kids in love to a full-house home
Took a long way ‘round, but the good Lord knows
He was drawin’ lines we couldn’t see
From that teenage kiss I can’t forget
To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette
Every mile, every wrong, every right we get
Led me back to you, Ivette
[Bridge]
Eleven-eleven, twenty-twenty-three
You walked that aisle straight to me
Ring on your hand, tears in my eyes
Oliver laughin’, Henry by my side
Danddy smilin’ in the front-row light
Three little boys, one big life
[Chorus]
Now it’s you and me on this crowded couch
Diapers, toys, little feet too loud
Took the long way home, but I’m thankful now
For every turn that brought us here
From that teenage kiss I can’t forget
To sayin’ “I do” with my Ivette
Every mile, every wrong, every right we get
Led me back to you, Ivette
Yeah, every mile, every wrong, every right we get
Led me back to you, Ivette

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic picking and soft pedal steel. First verse intimate and low-key, brushed kit and subtle bass easing in. Chorus opens wider with rich harmonies, organ pad, and a sturdy mid‑tempo groove. Second verse adds fiddle swells and a small dynamic lift, then a short, tender breakdown before a final big chorus and ring‑out.
