When I saw her for the very first time I was 007 at the age of 9 Hiding in the backseat of my brother's brand new Jeep There were girls dancin' in the bed of the trucks At least the ones who weren't gettin' stuck Coolers, cans and cut-offs were all new to me Well that was then, but now I'm grown and how we went that night I still go when the weekend rolls around
I'll be gettin' down, gettin' loud, gettin' some Gettin' high up under the moonlight It's a bring your own booze contribution We got beer and good ole boys, good ole girls Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion Oh but tonight it's on, pass the jar around Get so far gone we come unwound We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion Oh, dirt road communion
It's where I got my first moonshine kiss I could taste the cinnamon on her lips In the front seat of my brother's ole hand-me-down jeep Where I was baptised in rock'n'roll Our country roots run deep in my soul We hold one up high every single time Petty sets us free
Yeah, we're gettin' down, gettin' loud, gettin' some Gettin' high up under the moonlight It's a bring your own booze contribution We got beer and good ole boys, good ole girls Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion Oh but tonight it's on, pass the jar around Get so far gone we come unwound We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion Oh, dirt road communion
It's who we are, it's what we do We all come from miles around Just to do a little
Gettin' down, gettin' loud, gettin' some Gettin' high up under the moonlight It's a bring your own booze contribution We got beer and good ole boys, good ole girls Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion Oh but tonight it's on, pass the jar around Get so far gone we come unwound We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion Dirt road communion Oh, dirt road communion
