Lyrics

Dirt Road to Heaven
(Verse 1)
Dust clouds rose as the wheels turned slow,
Chasing shadows where the wild winds blow.
The bottle promised what it could not keep,
And I laid my head where the devil sleeps.



(Pre-Chorus 1)
Shallow thrills, that fade away,
Hollow Victories don't stay
friends scatter when my wallet thins,
My hearts on empty, buried in sin.



(Verse 2)
The neon nights and the songs of despair,
Led me out to a deeper prayer.
A whisper called through the darkest days,
Turned my eyes to a brighter gaze.



(Pre-Chorus 2)
Fictional freedom tied me down,
Faded laughter, left a hollow sound.
grace broke in like the morning sun,
the real road home had just begun.



(Chorus 1)
Oh, that dirt road to heaven,

it’s paved with grace,

Oh, that dirt road to heaven,
Oooo past to a holy place.


(Verse 3)
I see the scars of where I’ve been,
Each lesson I've learned, of the fall within.
The rocks and ruts, they shaped my soul,
His love made this broken heart whole.



(Pre-Chorus 3)
Every stumble taught me to rise,
Every tear turned to clear blue skies.
The world’s illusions, they’ve blown away,
truth is the song I sing today.



(Verse 4)
Now the dirt beneath feels like gold,
This path of mercy, it never grows old.
No shallow thrills, just love profound,
On the road to heaven where peace is found.



(Pre-Chorus 4)
Faith and love guide every mile,
Through the trials, I found my smile.
Jesus walked this road with me,
And showed me life eternally.



(Chorus)
Oh, that dirt road to heaven,

it’s paved with grace,

Oh, that dirt road to heaven,
Oooo past to a holy place.



(Outro)
The dirt road’s rough, but my spirit’s light,
For the Savior’s with me through day and night.
From shallow to sacred, He turned it around,
Now I’m bound for glory, where love is found.
