(Verse 1)
Used to be neighbors waved from the porch,
Now it’s red hat, blue flag, slammin’ the door,
Everybody’s shoutin’ ‘bout who’s right or wrong,
But nobody’s listenin’ long.
We’re fightin’ over fences that used to just mark land,
Forgettin’ how to reach across and shake a hand,
Ain’t the color of your sign in the yard, my friend,
It’s the heart you got within.
(Chorus)
We all plow the same dirt road,
Raise kids, chase dreams, pay what we owe,
Might see the world a different way,
But we all want a brighter day.
Underneath that starry dome,
We bleed the same red, white, and home,
So let’s put down that weight we tote,
And walk the same dirt road.
(Verse 2)
Granddad said, “Boy, don’t let TV fool ya,
Real folks care more than they show on computers,”
We’re more alike than the stories we’re told,
Just folks tryin’ to make it ‘til we’re old.
That coffee shop gossip and Sunday grace,
Still mean more than the votes we place,
If we listened more, we might just find,
The same truth in different lines.
(Chorus)
We all plow the same dirt road,
Raise kids, chase dreams, pay what we owe,
Might see the world a different way,
But we all want a brighter day.
Underneath that starry dome,
We bleed the same red, white, and home,
So let’s put down that weight we tote,
And walk the same dirt road.
(Bridge)
So let’s break bread, pass the pie,
Stop buildin’ walls, start lookin’ eye to eye,
Ain’t no left or right where angels go,
Just love on that same dirt road.
Chorus)
We all plow the same dirt road,
Raise kids, chase dreams, pay what we owe,
Might not vote the same come fall,
But love’s still bigger than it all.
Underneath that starry dome,
We bleed the same red, white, and home,
Let’s heal what’s broke and share the load,
And walk that same dirt road.
