Spent the summer throwing brim in a red ice chest
Gave my heart to Jesus in my Sunday best
Southern rock rolled from my radio each night
When “Freebird” fell out of the sky, felt like I lost an old friend of mine

Saw hate in living color on my TV
Learned black kids bled red just like me
Scott’s Playboy opened my eyes one afternoon
I noticed Jenny’s eyes were blue and Mama prayed for my every move

When I stop and remember, each moment stands alone
When I see ‘em all together, I’ve been blessed I know
I guess the Lord must love a dirt road, faded barns and shaded creeks
And I’ve come to think that He loves country boys like me

A slow sunset can make my day
Love is more than a yes in a Chevrolet
John 3:16 still brings me to my knees
Yeah, I stand here at peace knowing who I’ll always be

When I stop and remember, each moment stands alone
When I see ‘em all together, I’ve been blessed I know
I guess the Lord must love a dirt road, faded barns and shaded creeks
And I’ve come to think that He loves country boys like me

I guess the Lord must love a dirt road, faded barns and shaded creeks
And I’ve come to think that He loves country boys like me
Lord keep smiling down on me and all them country boys like me
