Yellow blue bird on a red clay road, kicking up a cloud of dust
Burned into my memory like an Arkansas summer sun
Last day of school, kick off your shoes, gonna grab up a fishing pole
Every boy and girl in this part of the county gonna meet at the swimming hole

I'm a dirt road kid and I'm proud of it
And if you ask me, that's the way everybody 'oughta live
I'm a country boy, born to hunt and fish
Raised way out yonder, it ain't no wonder, I'm a dirt road kid

If I show up at your party in my muddy boots, don't get bent outta shape
Drank a little too much, getting loud and rowdy and get up in your face
But by the end of the night you'll be a friend of mine and I'll even let you drive my truck
Show you how to pull it out with a winch when you're stuck to the axel studs

I'm a dirt road kid and I'm proud of it
And if you ask me, that's the way everybody 'oughta live
I'm a country boy, born to hunt and fish
Raised way out yonder, it ain't no wonder, I'm a dirt road kid

When the show is over and the lights go down don't look for me out on the town
There's just one place I'll be found

I'm a dirt road kid, hell, I'm proud of it
And if you ask me, that's the way everybody 'oughta live
I'm a country boy, born to hunt and fish
Raised way out yonder, it ain't no wonder, I'm a dirt road kid
Raised way out yonder, it ain't no wonder, I'm a dirt road kid, oh yeah
