RED DIRT, BLUE SEA

LYRICS

Red Dirt, Blue Sea

IntroHello, Austin!
Ready for one Croatian-born, Texas-raised girl?
HIT IT!

Verse 1I learned the sound of summer
where the blue meets ancient stone,
then I learned to chase a sunset
down a long Texas road.
Got a little salt in my bloodline,
got a little dust on my jeans,
I can tell you where I come from
without choosing in between.

Pre-ChorusOne heart, two skies,
and I wouldn’t trade either side.

ChorusRed dirt, blue sea,
half of where I came from, all of what made me.
From an Adriatic moon to an Austin marquee,
I got red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me.

CrowdHey! Hey!
Croatian-born, Texas-raised,
little bit of salt, little bit of blaze.
If you came to sing, sing it loud with me—
Red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me.

Post-ChorusRed dirt!
(BLUE SEA!)
Red dirt!
(BLUE SEA!)
Red dirt!
(BLUE SEA!)
That’s where I’m from,
that’s who I’ll be.

Verse 2I know church bells in the morning,
I know Sixth Street after dark.
I know waves against a harbor,
I know neon and guitars.
Give me boots beneath a sundress,
give me wind inside my hair,
I can make a home in two worlds
'cause my heart belongs out there.

Pre-ChorusOne heart, two skies,
and I wouldn’t trade either side.

ChorusRed dirt, blue sea,
half of where I came from, all of what made me.
From an Adriatic moon to an Austin marquee,
I got red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me.

CrowdHey! Hey!
Croatian-born, Texas-raised,
little bit of salt, little bit of blaze.
If you came to sing, sing it loud with me—
Red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me.

BridgeWhere are my Texas people?
(RIGHT HERE!)
Where are my coastal dreamers?
(RIGHT HERE!)
Then everybody sing it with me—

BuildRed dirt!

BuildRed dirt!
(BLUE SEA!)
Red dirt!
(BLUE SEA!)
One, two—
ONE, TWO, THREE!

Final ChorusRed dirt, blue sea,
half of where I came from, all of what made me.
From an Adriatic moon to an Austin marquee,
I got red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me.
Croatian-born, Texas-raised,
little bit of salt, whole lotta blaze.
If you came to sing, sing it loud with me—
Red dirt on my boots, blue sea in me!

Final Crowd ChantRed dirt!
BLUE SEA!
Red dirt!
BLUE SEA!
Red dirt on my boots—
blue sea in me!

OutroAustin... now you know where I come from.
