[Verse 1]
Main Street ended at the feed store sign
Two stoplights blinking, same old line
Dad by the dock with a Zebco cast
Sun on the water, time moved fast
Me and my brother in the bed of the truck
Mud on our boots, not much but luck
[Pre-Chorus]
We learned how to wait
By a bobber on a string
Learned how to swing
And how to take a hit
[Chorus]
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Dad on the bank, kids in the chrome
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Small town raised us, bone by bone (bone by bone)
[Verse 2]
Summer nights under the ballfield lights
Dust in our mouths, slide to the right
Brother at short with a busted grin
Talking smack like he always wins
I’d chase that fly while the crowd would cheer
Dad on the fence with a cold root beer
We lost some games and we won some too
That old dirt diamond made us who we grew
[Pre-Chorus]
We learned how to wait
By a bobber on a string
Learned how to swing
And how to take a hit
[Chorus]
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Dad on the bank, kids in the chrome
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Small town raised us, bone by bone (bone by bone)
[Bridge]
Now the truck’s gone quiet, the field looks small
Brother’s got kids, and I still call
Dad’s hands are slower, but he still smiles
When that pole bends down, he lights up miles
I bring my boy to that same old bend
Tell him this river’s where we began
[Chorus]
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Dad on the bank, kids in the chrome
Dockside dirt roads, that’s home
Small town raised us, bone by bone (bone by bone)
[Outro]
Dockside dirt roads
Still in my bones
Dockside dirt roads
That’s home
