This is one of those songs than many times in a song writers career says "I like it, but maybe it's better off for someone else". And, then you record it simply because you're a nobody and have no backing, only to realize that it's one of your top singles on a CD of 13 songs. I was blown away by this when I first discovered it on iTunes. Please check out some of my songs on my first CD if you get a little time: http://cdbaby.com/cd/maysey
I really appreciate all the kindness and support from all my new friends and look forward to making new. Peace and Love,....Mark and Noy
When the Tires on My Truck Hit the Dirt
Words and music by Mark Maysey
verse
well, I traded off my Beamer
for an older Chevy truck
and bought my buddies camper
for another fifty bucks
I threw out all them suits and ties
tailored shirts and pleated pants
went back to tees and blue jeans
working boots and cowboy hats
chorus
when the tires on my truck
hit the dirt, hit the dirt
when she throws her arms around me
as I get home from work
when the kids are there to greet me
and the neighbor say hello
Its then I tilt my head to Heaven
and I thank Him for my home
when my days are filled with laughter
and my nights are filled with love
Its then I know theres nothing greater
than the good Lord up above
and you can say what you like
bout the way I wear my shirts
when the tires on my truck hit the dirt
(repeat chorus)
(end)
when the tires on my truck hit the dirt
when the tires on my truck hit the dirt
when the tires on my truck hit the dirt
