[Verse]
The sky's got scars
The clouds won't heal
Wheels spin hard
I grip the wheel
Dust kicks up
The air feels tight
That old dirt road swallows the night
[Chorus]
Oh
The old dirt road
It’s calling me
A ghost of who I used to be
Every mile's a memory
Every turn’s a plea
The old dirt road won't let me be
[Verse 2]
Fence posts lean
They’ve seen it all
Barbed wire sings a low-down call
Crows dive low like they own the land
I’m just a shadow with a heavy hand
[Prechorus]
I left my name in the gravel dust
But it wears away
Like all of us
[Chorus]
Oh
The old dirt road
It’s calling me
A ghost of who I used to be
Every mile's a memory
Every turn’s a plea
The old dirt road won't let me be
[Bridge]
Wind bites sharp
It chews my skin
The road don't end
It just begins
My heart’s a drum
It pounds like war
Chasing dreams I can’t ignore
