This ain't no song about the good old days
Simpler times or easy ways
Oh, how I long for an old dirt road
Greener grass or a lighter load
I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in Sixty-five
Yeah, I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyes
Rain would fall and the mud would rise
Through my toes in the summertime
All those teen would drive and play
Just to fly like a dandelion
I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in Sixty-five
Yeah, I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyes
I stomped my toes on rocks and stones
Slept in fairy mo park homes
Watch my momma shake that line
Dusting clothes off hanging in a hot sunshine
I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in Sixty-five
Yeah, I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyes
