[Verse 1: Russell Dickerson]
I need a red dirt church, I need a little backroad ride
A little green grass grateful for this damn good life
Oh, where the treefrogs sing hallelujah all night
And hymns don't have words, I need a red dirt church

[Verse 2: Russell Dickerson, Russell Dickerson & Bear Rinehart]
I need a red dirt church when this world gets wild
I need a front pew lawn chair 'round a big bonfire
And a little gravel road grace gettin' my heart right
And healin' all my hurt, I need a red dirt church

[Chorus: Russell Dickerson]
And it's "I Surrender All" on a starry night
And it's amazin' grace, I saw the light
And it's right here with my favorite people, stars over a cedar steeple
The best place I've been on Earth is that red dirt church

[Verse 3: Bear Rinehart & Russell Dickerson]
I need a red dirt church, out whеre the river doеs flow
I need an old guitar, a couple songs I barely know
And Heaven feels so close, stars shinin' like gold (Shinin' like gold)
I need a red dirt church, yeah, come and save my soul

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart & Russell Dickerson]
And it's "I Surrender All" on a starry night
It's amazin' grace, I saw the light (I saw the light)
And it's right here with my favorite people, stars over a cedar steeple
The best place I've been on Earth is that red dirt church
[Post-Chorus: Russell Dickerson & Bear Rinehart, Russell Dickerson]
Amen (Oh, that red dirt church)
Amen (I need a red dirt church)
Amen
Amen (I need a red dirt church)

[Outro: Russell Dickerson]
I need a red dirt church, a little countryside revival
In the best place on Earth, I need a red dirt church
