Capo 3 
  
          G5         G5 
There's a town by a river  
      E5             D5                C5     C5      A5     D5 
And a dirt road that runs through the town, winding around 
         G5             G5 
And As a child I would daydream 
      E5              D5            C5            C5         A5    G5 
Where that road might take me when my time for leaving came down 
         G5          G5         E5          C5 
And each night I'd awaken from a dream I was taking 
         G5         D5           G5 
That old dirt road out of this town 
C5     D5        B5    E5 
Sweet memories keep haunting me 
C5          G5           A5       D5 
Calling me like an old friend 
    G5           G5 
And I pray that someday 
E5             C5 
I'll ride this halfway  
        G5             D5          G5 
'Til it turns to that dirt road again 
      G5       G5 
Now I live in city  
     E5      D5            C5        C5           A5     D5   
With manmade mountains of steel to block out the sky 
         G5        G5 
And that river of traffic 
     E5         D5      C5     C5          A5   D5  
That runs by my window never seems to run dry 
      G5            G5       E5          C5 
And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping 
     G5              D5        G5   
That old place that I left behind 
 
Chorus 
       C5      D5 
In the city tonight  
       B5            E5 
When I turn out the light 
        G5               D5          G5  
I'll be riding that old dirt road again
