rub a little dirt on it

Randy Houser

I heard it the first time I skinned my 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 spiderwire on a fishing pole
It ll take your breath
Takin in a sunset from a flat bottom boat
That heavy load lyin 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
Rub a little dirt on it
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
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
