<b>Blackland Family Dirt</b> by <i>Randy Meadows</i><br />

Weyman McBride & Randy Meadows

If I’d been any other place

On any other day

If it had been another time

Or any other way

If I’d been someone else’s kid

I might not ‘a done the things I did.

I might not ‘a sang the songs I’ve sung

Thought the thoughts I’ve thought

Hung with whom I’ve hung

Fought the ones I fought

Read the books I read

Wrote the things I’ve wrote

Said the things I’ve said

That got your precious goat

I might not a burned the wax I’ve burned

Done some things I shouldn’t

Learned what I have learned

Promised things I couldn’t

Slept the days I’ve slept

Woke the nights I’ve woke

Kept the words I’ve kept

Broke the ones I’ve broke

Chorus

I might not a turned the soil I’ve turned

Prayed the hopes I prayed

Burned the fields I’ve burned

Made the mess I’ve made

Found the love I found

Hurt the times I’ve hurt

Gained some precious ground

Blackland family dirt

Might not a fished the holes I’ve fished

Dropped the balls I’ve dropped

Closed my eyes and wished

Then caught the ones I’ve caught

Drank the things I drank

Smoked the things I smoked

Sunk the boats I’ve sank

Choked the times I’ve choked

I might not a talked to my old man

And a few old men of others

Verified their plans

By talkin’ to our mothers

Dodged my share of lead

Seen the strain of dyin’

Bled the way I bled

Felt the hope of tryin’

Chorus

I might not a turned the soil I’ve turned

Prayed the hopes I prayed

Burned the fields I’ve burned

Made the mess I’ve made

Found the love I found

Hurt the times I’ve hurt

Gained some precious ground

Blackland family dirt
