In this evocative track, Chase Rice celebrates the rites of passage and communal experiences that define rural youth culture. The lyrics reminisce about youthful adventures and formative moments, such as a first kiss or discovering music, all set against the backdrop of dirt road gatherings. These events serve as informal communions where participants share in the rituals of drinking, socializing, and music under moonlit skies. The song portrays these gatherings not just as parties but as essential social and cultural ceremonies that reinforce community bonds and individual identities within the context of rural life. Through vivid imagery and nostalgic references, Rice captures the essence of coming-of-age in a close-knit, countryside setting.
Dirt Road Communion
Lyrics
When I saw her for the very first time I was 007 at the age of nine
Hiding in the backseat of my brother's brand new Jeep
There were girls dancin' in the bed of the trucks
At least the ones who weren't gettin' stuck
Cooldrs, cans and cut-offs were all new to me
Well, that was then, but now I'm grown and how we went that night
I still go when the weekend rolls around
I'll be gettin' down, gettin' loud,
Gettin' some gettin' high up under the moonlight
It's a bring your own booze contribution
We got beer and good old boys, good old girls
Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world
Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion
Oh, but tonight it's on, pass the jar around
Get so far gone we come unwound
We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion
Oh, dirt road communion
It's where I got my first moonshine kiss
I could taste the cinnamon on her lips
In the front seat of my brother's old hand-me-down Jeep
Where I was baptised in rock'n'roll
Our country roots run deep in my soul
We hold one up high every single time, Petty sets us free
Yeah, we're gettin' down, gettin' loud
Gettin' some, gettin' high up under the moonlight
It's a bring your own booze contribution
We got beer and good old boys, good old girls
Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world
Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion
Oh, but tonight it's on, pass the jar around
Get so far gone we come unwound
We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion
Oh, dirt road communion
It's who we are, it's what we do
We all come from miles around
Just to do a little
Gettin' down, gettin' loud
Gettin' some, gettin' high up under the moonlight
It's a bring your own booze contribution
We got beer and good old boys, good old girls
Gettin' backwards in a backwoods world
Sunday morning we'll have a get-right reunion
Oh, but tonight it's on, pass the jar around
Get so far gone we come unwound
We ain't lost we can be found at the dirt road communion
Dirt road communion
Oh, dirt road communion
