Gon´ walk down that dirt road, ´til someone lets me ride
Gon´ walk down that dirt road, ´til someone lets me ride
If I can´t find my baby, I´m gonna run away and hide

I been pacing around the room hoping maybe she´d come back
Pacing ´round the room hoping maybe she´d come back
Well, I been praying for salvation laying ´round in a one-room country shack

Gon´ walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed
Gon´ walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed
´Til there´s nothing left to see, ´til the chains have been shattered
and I´ve been freed

I been lookin´ at my shadow, I been watching the colors up above
Lookin´ at my shadow watching the colors up above
Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love

Gon´ walk on down that dirt road ´til I´m right beside the sun
Gon´ walk on down until I´m right beside the sun
I´m gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone
