NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kentucky singer-songwriter Tyler Booth unveils “Clean Dirt,” his new song featuring Jamey Johnson, on Friday, February 27, marking Booth’s debut song with his joint venture with Average Joes Entertainment and Johnson’s Big Gassed Records. Pre-save/pre-add here.
Booth wrote “Clean Dirt” with Phil O’Donnell and Brian Davis. “Clean Dirt” is about the unwavering strength of God’s love and forgiveness, no matter how many times we lose our way.
“Everybody has their trials and tribulations and has to go through life dealing with struggles,” Booth says. “There is always room for redemption.”
The lyrics include:
I read the good book when I can
But don’t make it every Sunday
I slip and fall more than now and then
Taking’ the straight and narrow sideways
Lord knows the dirt ground in my soul
Is enough for me to burn
But thank God, three nails, two boards and one man, clean dirt
Johnson loved the song immediately when it was played for him. “We live in a day and age where people are starting to be a little more vocal about their religious views, so I like the way he’s unashamed,” Johnson says. “It’s about redemption and God’s grace. I wish I had written the song with him.”
“Clean Dirt” is the first release on Booth’s joint venture with Average Joes Entertainment and Johnson’s Big Gassed Records, with more music to come.
