lyrics

Dirt Road

Your aesthetics are an anesthetic
But so important to me, baby
And it's like farm country
The place where I wanna be
I was caught up in a quagmire
Like a thousand voices speaking
The springs of my bed were flat and
My tired bones were creaking

Dirt road, carry me back
Dirt road, carry me right along
Dirt road, get me outta town

The skies looked dim over Newark
I took the last plane home
To sooty dreams of burning buildings
City places I did roam
Motel was connected to a pool hall
Pool hall was connected to a bar
Happy hour special was kamikazes
And beer to set my throat on fire

Dirt road, carry me back
Dirt road, carry me right along
Dirt road, get me outta town

Out in back of your house I could remember
There were trees
And songbirds were sleeping
Underneath some leaves
And I need someone warm to come home to
When nights are cold and lonely
But ya caught me by surprise when you asked me
To be your one when I'm only on a

Dirt road, carry me back
Dirt road, carry me right along
Dirt road, get me outta town

No other place but your arms will do
Others, their thoughts were like glue
And no other place is right
I need to be right by your side and
Your aesthetic is an anesthetic
But so important to me, baby
And it's like farm country
The place I wanna be, hey hey

Dirt road, carry me back
Dirt road, carry me right along
Dirt road, get me outta town
