RedDirt

sweet like sunday

she said goodnight

in my old t shirt and summer blue eyes

she doesn't know that by morning light i'll be gone

every heartache is tragic when it's finally done

even the moon cries at night for the sun

i stopped on the bridge where the red river runs

and look back to the past

red dirt

you've been slipping through my fingers

i may be crazy now to leave her

but i need something more to make me stay

that don't wash away like me and her in red dirt

god knows it hurts me that i let her down

but my dreams and my plans are too much for that town

i look at the clock

she probably knows it by now i'd better try

before i change my mind

red dirt

been slipping through my fingers

it may be crazy now to leave her

but i need something more to make me stay

that won't wash away like me and her and red dirt

we were younger caught in the heat of september

when we lay down and that red dirt

but i've gotta learn how to live in the now

gotta do without that red dirt

you've been slipping through my fingers

i may be crazy now to leave her

but i need something more to make me stay

that won't wash away like me and her

oh and red dirt

i'm gonna miss that

red dirt

oh gonna miss

you
