And a dirt road that runs through the town Winding around As a child I would daydream Where that road might take me When my time for leavin' came down And each night I'd awaken From a dream I was takin' That 'ol dirt road out of this town Sweet memories keep haunting me Callin' me like an old friend And I pray that someday I'll ride this highway 'Till it turns to that dirt road again Now I live in the city Where man made mountains of steel To block out the sky And that river of traffic That runs by my window Never seems to run dry And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping That old place that I left behind Sweet memories keep haunting me Callin' me like an old friend And I pray that someday I'll ride this highway 'Till it turns to that dirt road again In the city tonight When I turn out the lights I'll be ridin' that 'ol dirt road again
VERSE 1: If somebody told you that you didn't need me Tell me would you deceive me And throw our relationship down the drain If some other wanted you to use you as another If that's the case then baby you'd discover That I will not waste my time So tell me did you think that you could start to fool me Did you know that you could mess around and lose me When I displayed all my trust in you I don't wanna hear the lies you try to pass as true confession I'd rather start by teaching you this lesson It's better to lose what you never had CHORUS: So if you feel you've had enough then maybe we should just be friends I love you enough boy to give you up I guess it's time to call it quits In your rain don't call on me I love you enough boy to set you free I love you enough boy to set you free
VERSE 2: And even my mother said she didn't trust you as my lover And then you had the nerve to front my brother When he was just trying to protect my heart So here we are have to sit around and talk about it Trying to find solutions but I doubt it Cause I can do bad all by myself And when somebody asks you why the finger points at you You better tell them the truth
