Dirt on My Name

Go on. Throw it. You can have the dirt.

Verse 1 Whole town came with a shovel and a grin Said my daddy's name like it was a sin Wrote me off on a napkin in a bar Folks love a story 'bout how low you are I don't argue with a mouth that's already made Let 'em dig, let 'em talk, let 'em get paid A name ain't a window you can break It's a root, and a root knows how to wait

Pre-Chorus Pile it on High as you please A buried thing Was always a seed

Chorus Dirt on my name, dirt on my name Pile it up high, I'll plant a flag You can bury a man, you can't bury a name Throw it all you want — it grows back

Verse 2 Cousin sold the story for a free drink Preacher used my last name to make 'em think That's fine, that's fine, keep the lie warm Every legend needs a little storm I came up out of harder ground than this With a chip on my tooth and a list You don't scare a man who's been the rumor Been the warning, been the county's humor

Pre-Chorus Pile it on High as you please A buried thing Was always a seed

Chorus Dirt on my name, dirt on my name Pile it up high, I'll plant a flag You can bury a man, you can't bury a name Throw it all you want — it grows back

Bridge You can have the dirt — the name's still mine You can have the dirt — the name's still mine Dirt on my name, dirt on my name Pile it up high, I'll plant a flag You can bury a man, you can't bury a name Throw it all you want — it grows back

Outro Throw it all you want — it grows back
