Paul Overstreet
She Could Make a Freight Train Take a Dirt Road
[Verse 1]
Well, I just finished getting in the hay
So, I knocked on the back door for a drink of water
The door to heaven opened up that day
It was the first time that I met that farmer's daughter
[Pre-Chorus]
The finest sight I’d ever seen
Her in her old cut-off jeans
The ones she washed in real hot water
[Chorus]
Yes, she could make a freight train take a dirt road
The one that winds around down by her back door
I couldn't help but stop and stare
When I saw her standing thеre
She had more curvеs than Miss Monroe
Yes, she could make a freight train take a dirt road
[Verse 2]
My second glass of water filled me up
But I asked her for three more so I could watch her
The smell of her fried chicken was too much
So I stood there 'til she asked me in for supper
[Pre-Chorus]
She sat my plate next to hers
Right by the biscuits and perserves
Her tender smile melted my butter
[Chorus]
Yes, she could make a freight train take a dirt road
The one that winds around down by her back door
I couldn’t help but stop and stare
When I saw her standing there
She had more curves than Miss Monroe
Yes, she could make a freight train take a dirt road
[Bridge]
Now every day I wake up with that beauty by my side
And I thanked the Lord above for all this love I feel inside
And I'm thankful for that job I hated working in the hay
I didn't make much money then, but boys it sure did pay
[Chorus]
'Cause she still makes a freight train take a dirt road
The one that winds around down by our back door
I jump the tracks each chance I get
No matter where my goal is
I think of her and lose control
'Cause she still makes a freight train take a dirt road
[Outro]
Yes, she still makes a freight train take a dirt road
Oh, she still makes a freight train take a dirt road
