Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You can keep your glass towers I know a better ground My boots got red clay on 'em From the north side of this town Mama said earn it honest With your hands in the dirt I learned what a dollar weighs By the sweat inside my shirt [Pre-Chorus] We was broke on Friday Still loud by Saturday night Tailgate prayers and cold cans Kept us feeling alright Every mile got a story Every scar got proof I can take a hit and smile That’s just what I do [Chorus] Dirt road dollars Heavy in my hand Dirt road dollars Built by a working man Dirt road dollars Yeah, they go far Mud on the boots And gold in the heart [Verse 2] I watched the pickup rattle Past the feed store sign Saw my old man counting Every hard-earned dime He said don’t chase the shiny If it leaves you cold A little wind in your face Means you’re already rich, boy [Pre-Chorus] We was broke on Friday Still loud by Saturday night Tailgate prayers and cold cans Kept us feeling alright Every mile got a story Every scar got proof I can take a hit and smile That’s just what I do [Chorus] Dirt road dollars Heavy in my hand Dirt road dollars Built by a working man Dirt road dollars Yeah, they go far Mud on the boots And gold in the heart [Bridge] Let the banks talk numbers I got a different kind One part blood, one part labor One part summer sun If the world keeps spinning I’ll be right here still With my back-road money And a no-quit will [Final Chorus] Dirt road dollars Heavy in my hand Dirt road dollars Built by a working man Dirt road dollars Yeah, they go far Mud on the boots And gold in the heart Dirt road dollars (heavy in my hand) Dirt road dollars (still standin' proud) Mud on the boots And gold in the heart
