Soon as I can I'm outta here, I don't love it like you do

Well, son, I know just how you feel, I used to feel the same way too

You gotta be patient, son, it happens slow

More than a few hard workin' years

Well, I saved enough to move into that city

Where the lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty

And I miss crickets, whippoorwills and the peaceful sounds of home

So I took her back home for a long weekend

She'd never seen nothin' like County Road Ten

I rolled all those windows down

And pointed out my ol' stompin' grounds

After supper at Mom and Dad's
Em
Swingin' in the swing, hand in hand
Dm
Watchin' the sun sinkin' out of sight
G G7*
She said I could get used to this life
[Chorus]
C C/B Am
Out where dirt turns to gold
F G
On a piece of heaven down some country road
C C/B
There's space out here for us to breathe
Am
To build a home and plant some seeds
F F/E Dm
Sit on the porch and watch our children grow
F G C
That's where dirt turns to gold
[Outro]
F G C
Yeah, dirt turns to gold
C
