You grow up barefoot, raisin' hell in the backyard
Turnin' daddy gray, makin' mama work hard
To keep white on the shirt
Covered in dirt
You turn sixteen, get a set of keys to a set of wings
Shine it on up, pick her up just to get the thing
Back where you were
Covered in dirt
'Cause it's down in your soul
All Over the roots of your hometown
Down in your bones
Where your mind goes when it goes down
Every backroad, every memory
Everywhere you've been, where you oughta be
'Round here, man, you live your life covered in dirt
'Til you're covered in dirt
You can pack a dream in a bag
Point your wheels toward the big lights
Try to wash it off of your heart at the county line
But that ain't how it works
'Cause you're still covered in dirt
It's down in your soul
All Over the roots of your hometown
Down in your bones
Where your mind goes when it goes down
Every backroad, every memory
Everywhere you've been, where you oughta be
'Round here, man, you live your life covered in dirt
'Til you're covered in dirt
It's down in your soul
All Over the roots of your hometown
Down in your bones
Where your mind goes when it goes down
Every backroad, every memory
Everywhere you've been, where you oughta be
'Round here, man, you live your life covered in dirt
'Til you're covered in dirt
You ain't the first or the last link in the chain
All the red blood runnin' through your veins
Came from stones on a hill with the same last name
Covered in dirt
Covered in dirt
Yeah, yeah
Covered in dirt
(All the red blood runnin' through your veins
Came from stones on a hill with the same last name
Covered in dirt
Covered in dirt
Covered in dirt)
