Delta Dirt
Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers

I wandered far away from the place

Where I was born and raised

I suffered through the Oklahoma dry lands

And through New York City's cold and rainy days

And now these dried up bones of mine are powerful thirsty

Just once again to feel them Mississippi rains

Lord, I got that Delta dirt, Lord

I got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins

In my veins, added in my veins

(In my veins, added in my veins)

I'm goin' home this mornin' if I have to walk, run or fly

I promised me as sure as I was standin'

That I'm never, ever gonna say goodbye

Cause this heart of mine keeps tellin' me I'm crazy

To keep on wearin' the city's ball and chain

When I got that Delta dirt Lord

Got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins

Lord, New York is mighty pretty

If you don't mind what you say

But I'd take a hundred acres of black land dirt

Over Detroit, New York and L.A.

I'm goin' home to Delta mama

Cause she's got everything

Gonna cure my aches and pains

And I got that Delta dirt, Lord

I got that black land Delta dirt down in my veins

I got it in my veins

(In my veins)

I got it in my veins

(Got it in my veins)

Lord, I got it in my veins
