She lived just across the bridge
Off rural route 1
Her mom and daddy liked me
Said we were to young
So I'd throw rocks at her window
On a hot summer night
And we talk on the front porch till the mornin' light

Well we turned 16
Just couldn't wait
Parked by the railroad tracks on our second date
My lips are still burnin' from that first kiss
Don't know if it's her or just the feelin' I miss

So many times, I tried to find
That part of me, I left behind
Yeah well lately I've been missin', my innocent soul
Guess it's lost somewhere down a long dirt road
Yeah it's lost somewhere down a long dirt road

That last summer ended way to soon
I took a job, she moved away to school
I can still see the dust trail from when she took off that day
She left more than just her tracks when she drove away

So many times, I tried to find
That part of me, I left behind
Yeah well lately I've been missin', the love we let go
Guess it's lost somewhere down a long dirt road
Yeah it's lost somewhere down a long dirt road

So many times, I tried to find
That part of me, I left behind
Yeah well lately I've been missin', the life I used to know
Guess it's lost somewhere down a long dirt road
I know I should just move on and let it all go
But I'm still lost somewhere down a long dirt road
I'm still lost somewhere down a long dirt road
