jd clayton - dirt roads of red lyrics

[verse 1]
early one sunday morning
i heard a word from the preacher man
he said, “be sweeter to your mamas
and love your neighbor like you know you can
’cause there’s a place i know called heaven
someday you may wanna go
they never get tired or sick up there
and their streets are made of gold”

[verse 2]
i say, “well, preacher
see, i’m the son of a southern man
raised up good in the yellow sunshine
working hard in the mud and the sand
and i do believe in the fella upstairs
and i will ’til i’m gray and old
but to tell you the truth, i’m a little concerned
about these streets made of gold”

[chorus]
yeah, i have just one simple request in mind
and, reverend, if you would ever be so kind as to send
a message up there on my behalf
it ain’t much to ask
it reads, “good god almighty, i beg you please, just before i’m dead
turn them streets of gold to dirt roads of red”
[verse 3]
now there are very few things in this life
that turn me up, turn me on
i sure love the touch of a good+looking woman
smell of a fresh+cut lawn
and i’m a tax+paying citizen, d+mn good fisherman
lord knows i’d never impose
but on that day when i make it to heaven
i’m gonna walk down a red dirt road

[chorus]
yeah, i have just one simple request in mind
reverend, if you would ever be so kind as to send
a message up there on my behalf
it ain’t much to ask
it reads, “good god almighty, i beg you please, just before i’m dead
turn them streets of gold to dirt roads of red”

[post+chorus]
ah, come on now with it
