(Verse 1)
Red dust risin’ in the July sunset glow
Old Chevy rattlin’ down a county road
Radio singin’ through a cracked-up dash
We were young and wild, livin’ way too fast
Bonfire smoke and a six-pack cold
Chasin’ every story that we ever told
Raisin’ hell beneath those stars so bright
Thinkin’ we’d stay eighteen our whole damn lives
(Chorus)
We were burnin’ down dirt roads
With our tires throwin’ memories
Laughin’ loud, runnin’ free
Like tomorrow wasn’t somethin’ we’d need
Yeah, we burned through summer nights
Like they were never gonna end
Lord, I’d give anything
To ride those roads again
(Verse 2)
Friday night, we’d start at Joe’s downtown
One cold beer and we’d make the rounds
Bar to bar with my best friends
Swearin’ this good time would never end
Neon lights and a jukebox tune
Last call came way too soon
Then we’d pile in and hit those backroad bends
Just a bunch of fools and lifelong friends
(Chorus)
We were burnin’ down dirt roads
With our tires throwin’ memories
Laughin’ loud, runnin’ free
Like tomorrow wasn’t somethin’ we’d need
Yeah, we burned through summer nights
Like they were never gonna end
Lord, I’d give anything
To ride those roads again
(Bridge)
Now I’m old and the room’s gone still
Doctors talkin’ while the clock ticks
I can hear my family by my side
But my mind’s somewhere else tonight
Back where the gravel met the fields
And youth felt forever real
If this is my last sunset to see
Those dirt roads are waitin’ on me
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I remember burnin’ down dirt roads
Red dust hangin’ in the air
Every scar, every laugh
Every friend that got me there
Those summer nights still shine
Though the years have come and gone
And when they lay me down
Those memories’ll carry on
Yeah, we’ll always be those kids
Chasin’ freedom through the dark
Still burnin’ down dirt roads
Somewhere in my heart
(Outro)
Red dust risin’ in the evening glow…
Still burnin’ down dirt roads…
Still burnin’ down dirt roads…
