This Old Dirt Road. {Lyrics}

-This Old Dirt Road.-

Got my headlights shining down this old dirt road
finishing off this pack of smokes, i should quit, i know
singing along to these old country songs
hearts are breaking, tears are falling, on and on.

{hook}
I've gotten used to these lonely nights.

{chorus}
'Cause someday, maybe I'll find the one for me
and someday maybe someone will finally see
All that I'm worth.
Until then, I'll belt out the lyrics that i know
Ridin' on with my headlights shining down this old dirt road.

Stop for gas somewhere in a vacant place
toss my money to a man with shadowed dreams to chase
with nowhere to go and nowhere to be
this lonely life has gotten used to me.

{chorus}
'Cause someday, maybe I'll find the one for me
and someday maybe someone will finally see
All that I'm worth.
Until then, I'll belt out the lyrics that i know
Ridin' on with my headlights shining down this old dirt road.

Shattered screams trapped within my soul
the nicotine has finally taken its toll
the radio blurring on, filling the cracks within the seams
as my heart continues tumbling on through broken dreams.

{chorus}
'Cause someday, maybe I'll find the one for me
and someday maybe someone will finally see
All that I'm worth.
Until then, I'll belt out the lyrics that i know
Ridin' on with my headlights shining down this old dirt road.

And I've gotten used to these lonely nights,
out on this old dirt road.
