The Best Country Songs About Dirt and Only Dirt and Nothing Else
One thing modern country singers love more than describing country girls’ outfits “(i.e “She was wearin’ a white t-shirt, jean shorts, cowboy boots, jean jacket and a jean dress that was also made of jean”) is singing about dirt. Here are 5 country songs about the love of muddy, soily, grimey dirt.
“Dirt” By Dean Brody
Best Lyric:
It was my first loveGood as goldHeaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
Let’s start with Canadian country music artist, winner of 16 CCMA Awards and 2 JUNO Awards, the illustrious Dean Brody. Brody’s two most famous songs describe the clothes of “Canadian Girls” and his undying love for Dirt beneath his feet. The song describes various phases of his life and how dirt was always there for him. One might argue that dirt is always there anywhere when you’re doing anything because we’re all on planet earth, which is literally another word for dirt, but that wouldn’t be as fun of a song.

“Dirt” by Florida Georgia Line
Best Lyrics:
You get your hands in it / Plant your roots in it / Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it (dirt)
Florida Georgia Line may have written the most romantic song about Dirt we’ve ever heard. Talking about dirt like a love from long ago, these boys take their entire song to describe almost no people or emotions, other than those they feel toward dirt and activities they enjoy in dirt. They describe things built in dirt, tools used to dig up dirt, what happens when rain gets in dirt, trucks in dirt, fences in dirt, and so much more. But don’t worry, they take a full half a verse to describe what a country girl is wearing and how that relates to dirt.
The Dirt Rich Band
You better believe this Alberta native band loves dirt because it’s literally. In. their. Name. By sheer definition, they are rich with it! We couldn’t just pick one song by these fellas, because their entire identity is banking on their love of dirt. In their song Outlaw, they grew up on an old dirt road, in their song She Takes Me Back Home, they describe the “clay between their toes”, in their song Money In the Ground they describe, “the rich black dirt and beat up four wheel drives”…the list goes on. There must be loads of dirt in Alberta because these boys can’t get enough of it.
“Dirt on My Boots” by Jon Pardi
Best Lyrics:
Might have a little dirt on my bootsMight have a little mud on my wheels
Jon Pardi just wants to earn his living doing manual labour, and the poor guy is just covered in dirt. That won’t stop him from taking his lady friend out tonight. They are going to dance until the dust comes off his boots, but not permanently because that’s a working mans boots that’ll get more dirt on them tomorrow. Also judging by online photos of Jon Pardi’s home gym and multiple motor cycles, dirt doesn’t seem to be on him as much as he claims.
“Dirt Road in ‘Em” by Aaron Prichett
Best Lyric:
'Cause everybody's got a little dirt road in 'em
Now technically this is describing a road made of dirt rather than just dirt itself, but we’re going to let that slide in order to deliver this universal message. Our dear Canadian treasure Aaron Pritchett wants us to remember that everybody has dirt road within them, even if they live in big cities, smoking cigars and drinking champagne because apparently those are our only two options in life. It should be noted that he also describes the shoes of a woman in this song because no way can we get through a song without knowing what the hell those country girls are wearing.
