The smell of asphalt is coming through my front door
There ís a diesel outside I can hear the engines roar
If pavin' is the answer that'll hide my checkered past
I'd rather us cement so I can make the hidin' last
[Chorus]
B C#m
A dirt road runs through the middle of my life
A E
Couldn't cut the mustard w/ my grandmas butter knife
B C#m A
I tried to keep it straight, tried to do my momma right, but it's tough
E7
On a long country night
In the middle of the night
[Verse]
E7
I thought I had it licked ñ it was easy as you please
I had a full - blown case of overconfidence disease
When you're slapped upside the head from the water 'neath the bridge
There's a siren song of whiskey, but no beer left in the fridge
[Chorus]
B C#m
My brain keeps runnin' like a hamster wheel
A E
I try to get my bearings but I can't keep still
B C#m A
There's a reason that I'm here and one that says I gotta fight for what's left
E7
Of a long country night
In the middle of the night

E7
Better catch my breath time to instigate a plan
Circle up the wagons 'cause I gonna take a stand
I'm looking for a culprit that is shootin' from the trees
You the one you're shootin' at is all she said to me
[Chorus]
B C#m
I don't know what to do, where to find my heart and soul
A E
Don't know what I'm gonna do to fill this hole
B C#m A
Help me find a way, baby lead me to the light She said I know what to do
E7
On a long country night
In the middle of the night
