[Verse 1]
Green on my jeans, rip in my shirt
Two outs down in the bottom of the third
I stole home plate and it covered my face
When I slid head first in American dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
This is for the middle of nowhere
Tall corn grows there
In rows that go for miles
This is for the first generation
Dreams in the making
Chasin' a chance for a better life
[Chorus]
Here's to mud on your boots
Puttin' red, white and blue
Roots in God's green earth
In American dirt
[Verse 2]
Four Goodyears kickin' it up
Paintin' both sides of my pickup truck
Me and her ridin' round
Gonna lay a blanket down on some sacred ground
[Pre-Chorus]
This is for the middle of nowhere
Tall corn grows there
In rows that go for miles
This is for the first generation
Dreams in the making
Chasin' a chance for a better life
[Chorus]
Here's to mud on your boots
Puttin' red, white and blue
Roots in God's green earth
In American dirt
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, American dirt
American dirt
Yeah, American dirt
American dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
This is for the middle of nowhere
Tall corn grows there
In rows that go for miles
This is for the first generation
Dreams in the making
Chasin' a chance for a better life
[Chorus]
Here's to mud on your boots
Puttin' red, white and blue
Roots in God's green earth
In American dirt
[Outro]
American dirt
Yeah, American dirt
American dirt
