<b>Red Dirt</b> by <i>Granger Smith</i><br />

Sweet like Sunday she said goodnight

In my old t-shirt and summer blue eyes

She doesn't know that by morning light

I'll be gone

Every heartache is tragic when it's finally done

Even the moon cries at night for the sun

I stopped on the bridge where the Red River runs

And looked back to the past

Red dirt you've been slipping through my fingers

I may be crazy now to leave her

But I need something more to make me stay, that won't wash away

Like me and her and red dirt

God knows it hurts me that I let her down

But my dreams and my plans are too much for that town

I look at the clock, she probably knows it by now

I'd better drive

Before I change my mind

Red dirt you've been slipping through my fingers

I may be crazy now to leave her

But I need something more to make me stay, that won't wash away

Like me and her and red dirt

We were younger

Caught in the heat of September

When we laid down in that red dirt

But I've got to learn how to live in the now

Gotta do without that

Red dirt you've been slipping through my fingers

I may be crazy now to leave her

But I need something more to make me stay, that won't wash away

Like me and her and red dirt

I'm gunna miss that red dirt
