[Verse 1]
You can keep your glass towers
I know a better ground
My boots got red clay on 'em
From the north side of this town
Mama said earn it honest
With your hands in the dirt
I learned what a dollar weighs
By the sweat inside my shirt
[Pre-Chorus]
We was broke on Friday
Still loud by Saturday night
Tailgate prayers and cold cans
Kept us feeling alright
Every mile got a story
Every scar got proof
I can take a hit and smile
That’s just what I do
[Chorus]
Dirt road dollars
Heavy in my hand
Dirt road dollars
Built by a working man
Dirt road dollars
Yeah, they go far
Mud on the boots
And gold in the heart
[Verse 2]
I watched the pickup rattle
Past the feed store sign
Saw my old man counting
Every hard-earned dime
He said don’t chase the shiny
If it leaves you cold
A little wind in your face
Means you’re already rich, boy
[Pre-Chorus]
We was broke on Friday
Still loud by Saturday night
Tailgate prayers and cold cans
Kept us feeling alright
Every mile got a story
Every scar got proof
I can take a hit and smile
That’s just what I do
[Chorus]
Dirt road dollars
Heavy in my hand
Dirt road dollars
Built by a working man
Dirt road dollars
Yeah, they go far
Mud on the boots
And gold in the heart
[Bridge]
Let the banks talk numbers
I got a different kind
One part blood, one part labor
One part summer sun
If the world keeps spinning
I’ll be right here still
With my back-road money
And a no-quit will
[Final Chorus]
Dirt road dollars
Heavy in my hand
Dirt road dollars
Built by a working man
Dirt road dollars
Yeah, they go far
Mud on the boots
And gold in the heart
Dirt road dollars
(heavy in my hand)
Dirt road dollars
(still standin' proud)
Mud on the boots
And gold in the heart
