The Dirt Road

I'll Take The Dirt Road

Performed By: Sawyer Brown
Written By: Mark Miller & Greg Hubbard
From Their 1992 Album - The Dirt Road

 





Daddy worked hard for his dollar
He said some folks don't, but that's o.k.














They won't know which road to follow


Because an easy street might lead you astray




I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know











I've been a'walking it for years
It's gone where I need to go








It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time











And life won't pass me by









'Cause it's right there to find,
on the dirt road.

 







I have lived life in the fast lane
You gotta watch your back and
look both ways
When it's said and done the time we have is borrowed
You better make real sure you're headed the right way


 



I'll take the dirt road, it's all I know
I've been a'walking it for years
It's gone where I need to go
It ain't easy, it ain't supposed to be
So I'll take my time





And life won't pass me by
'Cause it's right there to find, on the dirt road











On the dirt road







Pictures:
The first one is my Daddy when he was probably in his early 20's. Second one is heading from Savannah, Georgia into South Carolina. The next three are some of the beautiful back roads that I get the pleasure of traveling daily if I choose to. The next one is the view of the sun rising in my back yard. Then we have a view from the main road into our community. Next is Atlanta Airport seen from the plane that took 45 min. to taxi into the terminal. Another view from a back road. Me and my kids. And, the last one is of deer, of course, near the roadway. (They were heading towards the road, until I blew my horn).
Thank You once again to Hootin' Anni for being our host. Join in on the fun over at Thursday Theme Song!!

  1. Love the photos, Jeanette, perfect for the song. Some beautiful back roads you have there, and a beautiful sunrise.
    Hard to tell with one B&W and one color shot, but does your son look a bit like his grandfather?
    Glad you're enjoying Thursday Theme Song. It's my favorite, and I hope it's one of yours, too.

  2. You have some beautiful back roads in your part of the country. The 45 minutes to the terminal is something I have done at the Atlanta airport too.

    I haven't heard this song before but I really like it, your photos illustrate it perfectly.

  4. I so enjoyed this one with all my heart. It seems to have "Anni" written in the lyrics somewhat. LOL

    I LOVED viewing all the terrific captures you provided. AND especially the loving kinship of your father. That was a heart melting photo share.
