*[INTRO - Heavy distorted guitars with a twangy slide, pounding drums kick in after 30 seconds]*
**[ VERSE 1 - 1min 10 sec]**
Well I was born down by the railroad track
Got dirt in my veins and gasoline in my back
Raised on whiskey , gospel and steel guitar strings
Fought every devil that this small town brings
Took a wrong turn down a dead -end lane
Left a good girl cryin' in the pouring rain
Now I'm ridin' high on a Harley with no brakes
Countin' up the mistakes that time can't erase
*[ Guitar riff break- 15 sec]*
**[ PRE CHORUS - 45 sec]**
Yeah the wheels keep turnin' but the pain don't fade
Got a pocket full of promises that I never made
Every mile I roll just digs the
hole deeper down
But I ain't lookin' for mercy in this lost and not found.
**[ CHORUS ]**
*[ BASS DROPS- guitars go full throttle]*
THIS IS DIRT ROAD REDEMPTION- WITH A STEEL TOE KICK
BURNIN' UP THE HIGHWAY LIKE A STICK OF DYNAMITE
GOT A HEART LIKE A WRECKIN' BALL- HEADIN' FOR THE WALL
GONNA LIVE AND DIE BY THIS COUNTRY
ROCK FIGHT !
Yeah we play it LOUD -TILL THE SPEAKERS BLOW ,
TURN THE PAST TO ASH AND LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
*[ Extended guitar solo- 30 sec- mix of shredding and slide guitar]*
**[ VERSE 2- 1 min]**
Worked the coal mines ' til my hands were raw
Payed for every sin with my own blood
Saw my daddy's dreams turn to dust and rust
Swore I'd never let that life eat me up
But I fell for the devil in a bottle of rye
Woke up alone in a strangers bed
With nothin' left but these words in my head
*[ Drum fill leads to pre chorus]*
**[ PRE CHORUS- 45 sec]**
Yeah the wheels keep turnin' but I'm findin' my way
Wiped the dust off my boots and I'm here to stay
Every scar I've got tells a story worth tellin'
Gonna keep on rollin' 'til I reach that horizon
**[ CHORUS- 1 min.]**
*[ EVEN HEAVIER- banjo joins the guitars for a hybrid sound]*
THIS IS DIRT ROAD REDEMPTION- WITH A STEEL TOE KICK
BURNIN' UP THE HIGHWAY LIKE A STICK OF DYNAMITE
GOT A HEART LIKE A WRECKIN' BALL- HEADIN' FOR THE WALL
GONNA LIVE AND DIE BY THIS COUNTRY ROCK FIGHT !
Yeah we play it LOUD- 'TIL THE SPEAKERS BLOW
TURN THE PAST TO ASH AND LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
*[ Dual guitar+fiddle solo-40 sec- high energy trade-off]*
**[ BRIDGE ]**[Acoustic guitar comes through]
They say you can't outrun your shaddow
Can't fix what you broke with just a " maybe tomorrow"
But i got the wind at my back and the stars above
And a song in my heart about finding love
*[ Build back up- all instruments crash in]*
SO I'M GONNA RIDE THIS TRAIN 'TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF !
GONNA BURN THIS BRIDGE AND NEVER LOOK BACK
Yeah...this one's for every soul who's ever been lost ...
EVERY HEART THAT'S EVER BEEN CROSSED...
WE AIN'T GOIN' DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
[CHORUS]
THIS IS DIRT ROAD REDEMPTION - WITH A STEEL TOE KICK
BURNIN' UP THE HIGHWAY LIKE A STICK OF DYNAMITE
GOT A HEART LIKE A WRECKIN' BALL
HEADIN' FOR THE WALL
WE PLAY IT LOUD 'TIL THE SPEAKERS BLOW
TURN THE PAST TO ASH AND LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL- x3
