Black Dirt Track Lyrics

Dirt black track
Feet brown bare
Late summer heat
Child stands there

Black track dirt
Bare feet brown
Wonderland
Far from town

Under a sky of peppermint trees
All to the roar of waves on the beach
Hours to be lost in a world of pretend

Diving deep down holding it in
Salt on her lips scales on her skin
Finding the courage to walk to the end

Black dirt track
Bare brown feet
Childs a girl
With secrets to keep

Black track dirt
Feet bare brown
Call her name
She don't turn around

Whoever know whoever knew
That dirt black track
Would lead me to you
When i was a girl
It was my yellow brick road

Who could've known
Who could've known
I'd be walking it now
With a child of my own
Feeling all the magic that it holds

Breathing it out
Breathing it in
Cold crystal blue
Dreaming a dream
Dreaming a dream

Whoever knew
Whoever knew
That dirt black track would lead me to you

When i was a girl
It was my yellow brick road
Who could've known
Who could've known
I'd be walking it now with a child of my own
Feelng all the magic that it holds

Feeling all the magic
(Black dirt track)
Feeling all the magic
(Black dirt track)
Black dirt track
Black dirt track
