[Verse 1]
Out by Neosho, sunrise on the field
Boots in the mud, got the whole day sealed
Fence line long, and the work don't quit
Old red truck got a dent in it
I stack hay high, then I talk my talk
Mama on the porch like, "Boy, don't balk"
Grease on my hands, dust on my jeans
Running that farm like a backwoods dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screen door slam
That's my kind of plan
When the sun goes down
We still work this ground
[Chorus]
Neosho dirt road
That’s my home
Neosho dirt road
I ride it slow (ride it slow)
Neosho dirt road
Where the corn grows tall
Neosho dirt road
I got roots, that’s all
[Verse 2]
Feed in the bin, and the barn stays full
Mud on the tires, but the pull stays cool
Neighbors wave by with a raise of the hand
Everybody knows me round that county land
I can spit a verse, then bale that stack
Can fix that gate with a wrench and a smack
Got that farm talk mixed with a rhyme
Watch me turn a hard day into good-time shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screen door slam
That's my kind of plan
When the sun goes down
We still work this ground
[Chorus]
Neosho dirt road
That’s my home
Neosho dirt road
I ride it slow (ride it slow)
Neosho dirt road
Where the corn grows tall
Neosho dirt road
I got roots, that’s all
[Bridge]
Late-night grass, and the moon up high
Hush in the pines and the whippoorwill cry
No gold chain, just a worn-out cap
But I wear this land like a heavyweight strap
[Final Chorus]
Neosho dirt road
That’s my home
Neosho dirt road
I ride it slow (ride it slow)
Neosho dirt road
Where the corn grows tall
Neosho dirt road
I got roots, that’s all
Neosho dirt road
Yeah, I’m built this way
Neosho dirt road
From the field to the stage
