[Verse 1]
Yeah, we drank on it
Cranked some Hank on it
Got a little crazy, raised a little hell on it

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, learned to pray, learned to cuss
Throw a party, throw a punch
Ain't no hidin' where we're from

[Chorus]
It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

[Verse 2]
Baled some hay on it
Asked God to rain on it
We met 'em at the gate when they tried to put an interstate on it

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we got lost, we got found
And we got high and we got down
And every time we rolled into town

[Chorus]
It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

[Bridge]
Yeah, we drank on it
Cranked some Hank on it
Got a little crazy, raised hell on it

[Chorus]
It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

[Outro]
Yeah, it's the red stuff flying in the back of a truck bed
Goin' out as far as you can get
Windows down, turned up to a country song
That's the dirt we were raised on
Sunsets and a bullet hole stop sign
Gettin' down on a back 45
Yeah, that's how we do it all night long
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
