Rub A Little Dirt On It

I heard it the first time I skinned a knee

Daddy said, "Don't be scared to bleed"

Years later from a football coach

Took a hit, couldn't quit, it was fourth and goal

We didn't win that game, but the lesson learned

You gotta shake off them scrapes and burns

When the world don't turn your way

Sometimes all you can say is

Rub a little dirt on it

Shake the dust right outta your mind

Let a cool breeze work on it

Ya feel the healing comin' on right on time

Crack a six-pack open

Somewhere under an open sky

When life gets a little hurt on it

Get in the middle of nowhere, and rub a little dirt on it

Nothing knocks the cobwebs off your soul

Like some spider wire on a fishing hole

It'll take your breath, taking in a sunset

From a flat bottom boat

That heavy load laying on your chest

Got your mind all twisted up in a mess

When life scatters all your stuff

Sometimes to clean it up

You gotta rub a little dirt on it

Shake the dust right outta your mind

Let a cool breeze work on it

Ya feel the healing comin' on right on time

Crack a six-pack open

Somewhere under an open sky

When life gets a little hurt on it

Get in the middle of nowhere and rub a little dirt on it

Little dirt on it

Crack a six-pack open

Somewhere under an open sky

Life gets a little hurt on it

Get in the middle of nowhere, and rub a little dirt on it

Yeah, rub a little dirt on it

I heard it the first time I skinned my knee

Daddy said, "Don't be scared to bleed"

Yeah
