C F C F
C
I know where I'm going
F
When I'm done here on this earth
C
God's building me a mansion
G
Where none of us will hurt
C
I'll see ol' St. Peter
F
Swing wide those pearly gates
C
I don't mean to sound ungrateful
G
But God I hope and pray
Chorus:
C
There's just one dirt road
Dm
That takes me back to a honey hole
F
A hundred year old white oak tree
G
Layin' shade on me
C
Pickin' blackberries off the vine
Dm
A Bobwhite whistling out through the pines
F G
I can't wait to walk those streets of gold
But give me just one dirt road
C
Hang up mama's clothesline
F
Between those two pine trees
C
Lay some round bales in a hay field
G
And a bridge across the creek
C
Let it wind past that white church
F
Where I gave my soul to you
C
And dead end at Granny's house
G
Amen I'm through
Chorus:
C
There's just one dirt road

That takes me back to a honey hole

A hundred year old white oak tree

Layin' shade on me

Pickin' blackberries off the vine

A Bobwhite whistling out through the pines

I can't wait to walk those streets of gold
But give me just one dirt road
