Dirt Road Dancin'
Trea Landon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a couple kegs and big bonfire
Pull in the gate past Knotty Pine Road
That's the place everybody gonna go, hey
I′ve got some homemade wine and full tank of gas
I think we ought to just drive on past
We could stop anywhere, that'd be just fine
Yeah, I'm gonna open up the truck door, turn it up loud
Get you in the headlights, spin you around
Ain′t nothing like out here romance ′n girl
Let's do a little dirt road dancin′
Midnight moon gonna shine on us
Sing them songs while we're kicking up dust
Get a 9.9 out of 10 kind of buzz
And maybe make a little love
We gonna open up the truck door, turn it up loud
Get you in the headlights, spin you around
Ain′t nothing like out here romance 'n girl
Let′s do a little dirt road dancin'
You can be my little Dixieland delight
Slow it on down, it feels so right
Steal me a kiss when I get the chance 'n girl
Let′s do a little dirt road dancin′
To the left, to the right
Red dirt, pretty eyes
You're from the front, you′re to the back
But your girl gon' do it just like that (just like that)
We gonna open up the truck door, turn it up loud
Get you in the headlights, spin you around
Ain′t nothing like out here romance 'n girl
Let′s do a little dirt road dancin'
You can be my little Dixieland delight
Slow it on down, it feels so right
Steal me a kiss when I get the chance 'n girl
Let′s do a little dirt road dancin′
Steal me a kiss when I get the chance'n girl
Let′s do a little dirt road dancin'
In Trea Landon's song "Dirt Road Dancing," the singer sets the stage for a night of romance and partying with the first verse, which opens with an invitation to a big bonfire and kegs of beer. However, the singer would rather spend the night alone with his lover, no distractions. The chorus talks about how they are going to dance and enjoy each other's company in the open air, away from the party's chaos. The singer describes a midnight moon in the second verse, and he tries to set up the night to involve romance by promising kisses and intimate moments, as they both kick up dust while dancing to music under the stars.
The chorus repeats, and the song ends with the singer urging his lover to steal a kiss whenever they get the opportunity, while they dance on the dirt road under the starry sky. This song is a nostalgic nod to simpler times when young lovers found pleasure in the company of each other in the outdoors, dancing under the starlit sky, away from the ruckus of the city.
