Lyrics
They dubbed me Dirt Leg in Grape Creek holler
Where coal dust danced and grapevines holler
Helped Daddy tend the fur lines by lantern glow
Hands deep in the trade, watchin' wild things grow
Rambled dawn to dusk with a trusty ol' trail
Bringin' home supper from the shady vale
Oh, we lived off the harvest, proud in our ways
Hop-along stew bubblin, bushy-tail on the blaze
Creek-side swimmers, croakers in the shine
Well water crisp, stars winkin' fine
Backwoods born, roots twistin' deep and true
Dirt Leg boy from Ole Grape Creek, me and you
Roamed the bottoms playin' tunes I penned myself
Whistlin' to the wind, chasin' stories on the shelf
No fancy fixin's, just a rod and a reel
Gatherin' the bounty, keepin' hunger at heel
Pond-line pullers, jumpers in the mist
Eatin' hearty from the land we kissed
Oh, we lived off the harvest, proud in our ways
Hop-along stew bubblin, bushy-tail on the blaze
Creek-side swimmers, croakers in the shine
Well water crisp, stars winkin' fine
Backwoods born, roots twistin' deep and true
Dirt Leg boy from Ole Grape Creek, me and you
Nightfall crept in, we'd spin that rabbit-ear 'round
Fuzzy glow on the screen, family gathered 'round
Chucklin' at antics or cowboys ridin' tall
Simple light in the dark, answerin' every call
Those grainy evenin's shaped this heart of mine
Deep country soul, standin' the test of time
Yeah, we lived off the harvest, no fuss in our game
Hop-along simmerin, bushy-tail fame
Pond-line delights, croakers singin' their tune
Well water flowin, under that same ol' moon
Backwoods heart, country blue and green
Dirt Leg forever in Grape Creek dreams
Dirt Leg boy.. Grape Creek callin' me
Still tastin' those harvests.. wild and free..
