Red Dirt Road - Timothy B. Schmit

Do you remember

Not long ago

When we could just up and fly away?

Now things are different

Now we must plan

We do our work before we play

That clear, blue green water

Will soon be in sight

We’ll take as long as it may take

'Cuz we have each other

And it’s only right

That we persevere for goodness sake

Right now we sow those seeds

But oh my, just wait and see (When we)

Get on down that mountain side

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water then you’ll know

You don’t need no diamond ring

You don’t need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

I’m only human

I’m just a man

I seek contentment when I can

So when I am weary

Head in my hand

I think about my earthly promise land

I’d like to cut to the chase

But I know we’ve got to wait ('till we)

Get on down that mountain side

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water then you’ll know

You don’t need no diamond ring

You don’t need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

It won’t be quite the same

Once we were young and wild

But one thing will never change

It’s that burning in our hearts

You know it’s been there from the start

Right now we sow those seeds

But oh my, just wait and see (til' we)

Get on down that mountain side

Take the red dirt road

When you reach that water then you’ll know

You don’t need no diamond ring

You don’t need no clothes

When you walk on down that red dirt road

You don’t need a single thing

Just get up and go

There’s a rainbow down that red dirt road

When you walk on down that red dirt road

When you walk on down that red dirt road
