Down That Dirt Road - The Petersens Original (LIVE)

LYRICS - Down That Dirt Road (Original) ------------ Skippin' rocks and jumpin' off That bridge down by the creek I still feel the damp of that tall grass Underneath my bare feet And across the yard, a big red barn Ever-etched there in my mind Tossed me the keys to that old truck And taught me how to drive Down that dirt road There's a little piece of home That'll always be waitin' No matter where I go Some things are bound to change And some things don't Down that dirt road As I grew, my dreams did too Of a bigger life to see Out there beyond this little pond That was now too small for me So I pulled away my roots And gave the city life my hand But at night I lay awake And dreamed about where I began Down that dirt road There's a little piece of home That'll always be waitin' No matter where I go Some things are bound to change And some things don't Down that dirt road I thought the grass would be greener Over on the other side But the greenest grass I've ever seen Beneath the bluest sky Was down that dirt road There's a little piece of home That'll always be waitin' No matter where I go So I'm goin' down that dirt road To my little piece of home It's always been waitin' No matter where I go Some things are bound to change And some things don't I've never been more ready to be home And down that dirt road Album: Hopefully a future album Here's the big red barn, at their grandparents' farm https://youtu.be/bVehr80ZVsc

Takes you back to a time where America was perhaps not perfect but it was filled with hope and family values and faith.

Nice to hear Matt solo with the great harmony accompanying him❤

A beautiful song that suits Mat's voice and maybe a bit of nostalgia for us elders.

II´m from Germany, and I am slso a musician. I like youre style to make country music - it´s famous! Thanks for this kind of music!

Come al solito capitate sempre al momento giusto! Le strade sporche o impraticabili portano sempre a CASA , basta avere il coraggio di camminare! Ciao Petersen family! Saluti dall' Italia!

After a difficult week here in the UK, this big ray of sunshine from Missouri is very welcome and gratefully received.

Sometimes I don't find the song, the song finds me.

I hope to listen to your concert in Italy!!!❤

What a wonderful original song. Matt did a great job singing it.

When I listen to this song, I remember my childhood I caught fish in the river with my friends and my adolescence I dreamed living in a big city but came back soon after being fed up with so many people and crowded trains. This is a song which reminds me of how good my home or my country place where I brought up. I love this song and melody all of you sing and play your instruments so well.

Fantastic Family, phenomenal music, amazing voices, great musicians. 🎻🎸🎤🎶🎵😊😃.

This lyric: "Down that dirt road There's a little piece of home That'll always be waitin' No matter where I go" = Never forget where you came from nor forget your roots. Thank you Petersens for that reminder. :-)

Lovely song. Traditional country with the magical Peterson touch. And I do realize this is a new song, but it will be traditional soon enough.

Another fantastic song. Real music by REAL performers. Thank you !!

Outstanding job writing Katie, Emmett, and John. You guys a very gifted songwriters. Well sung Matt and awesome performance by all. 👏👏👏

And there goes my toes...tapping again to another Petersen's song. You just can't argue with your toes....they just know good music when it plays! Can't fool the toes....no siree ....must be why God put them at the end of our feet....so we'd always know when good music was happening! Thank you, Petersen's! ❤️🙏❤️

This is such a great song. We should be honored for the Petersons and all the songs they do.😊

I love how they look at each other in such fondness. It's a beautiful thing.

So, so excited for The Greenest Grass! I am thanking the patrons today as well because without you, we might not have gotten the chance to hear some more unmatched Petersens originals this soon! Love you all! Beautiful video and song! Thank you for letting your gifts from God work in this world! ❤️
