[Verse 1]
This ain't no song about the good old days
Simpler times or easy ways
Or how I long for an old dirt road
Greener grass or a lighter load

[Chorus]
I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in '65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyes

[Verse 2]
Rain would fall and the mud would rise
Through my toes in the summer time
August heat would dry that clay
Dust went flying like a dandelion

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Stubbed my toes on rocks and stones
Slipped and fell in old potholes
Watched my mama shake that line
Dust them clothes off hanging in the hot sunshine
[Chorus]
