(V1) Great great grandad came to this land wearin' everything he owned 
Dug in the Moon Run Mines till he was 59 for black diamond, blue coal stones 
Barely makin' rent, saved each cent to buy a farm for the family 
When his days were done, left it to his son till it made it's way down to me 

(Pre-chorus)
 Now before I could walk, before I could climb
 Before I could talk, I spent most of my time 

(Chorus) 
In the dirt, sweet mother earth in the clay and the dust and mud 
In the dirt, for all it's worth  it's runnin' through my blood 
It's where I race my car where I earn my scars in my denim's and t-shirt 
When good ole boys need to make some noise we do it in the dirt 
     
 (V2) 
Fore the sun comes out there ain't no doubt I'll be turnin' up the sod 
At the end of the day, when it's time to play four wheelin' on the quad 
Til my girl drops by with them sexy eyes that cut through me like a knife 
With the ring I bought, take her to our spot and ask her to be my wife 

(Pre-Chorus) 
We'll lay on the ground, neath the stars above No-one else around, 
we'll kiss and we'll make love 

(Chorus)
 In the dirt, sweet mother earth in the clay and the dust and mud 
In the dirt, for all it's worth  it's runnin' through my blood
 It's where I race my car where I earn my scars in my denim's and t-shirt 
When good ole boys need to make some noise we do it in the dirt

(Bridge) 
 It gives me peace of mind that one day my great grand son might be
 Standin' under this same old oak right where they'll bury me 

(Chorus) In the dirt, sweet mother earth in the clay and the dust and mud
 In the dirt, for all it's worth  it's runnin' through my blood
 It's where I race my car where I earn my scars in my denim's and t-shirt
 When good ole boys need to make some noise we do it in the dirt       
Oh, in the dirt we do it in the dirt talkin' bout some good clean fun in the dirt
