Discover the story of the song > Old Dirt Road – John Lennon

There's no one on the old dirt road, and there's no more time. It's better than a mudslide when the dry spell comes. Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road, trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind. Walking through the deadwood on a hot summer day, I saw a lazy human being in the hay. I said, "Hey, Mr. Human, can you make it rain too?". He replied, "I think it's okay, the only thing we need is water, fresh clear water. No more people on the old dirt road, no more time on the old dirt road, it's better than a mudslide, mom, when the morning comes, yeah!
