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, damn 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

[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"
[Outro]
Yeah, turn them streets of gold
To dirt roads of red
