one dirt road

i know where i'm going

when i'm done here on this earth

god's building me a mansion

where none of us will hurt

i'll see ol' st. peter

swing wide those pearly gates

i don't mean to sound ungrateful

but god i hope and pray

there's just one dirt road

that takes me back to a honey hole

a hundred year old white oak tree

layin' shade on me

pickin' blackberries off the vine

a bobwhite whistling out through the pines

i can't wait to walk those streets of gold

but give me just one dirt road

hang up mama's clothesline

between those two pine trees

lay some round bales in a hay field

and a bridge across the creek

let it wind past that white church

where i gave my soul to you

and dead end at granny's house

amen i'm through

i hope there's just one dirt road

that takes me back to a honey hole

a hundred year old white oak tree

layin' shade on me

pickin' blackberries off the vine

a bobwhite whistling out through the pines

i can't wait to walk those streets of gold

but give me just one dirt road

just one dirt road

that takes me back to a honey hole

a hundred year old white oak tree

layin' shade on me

pickin' blackberries off the vine

a bobwhite whistling out through the pines

i can't wait to walk those streets of gold

but give me just one dirt road

just one ol' dirt road
