  Dirt road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dirt road is a common term for a type of unpaved road.
Dirt roads are common in rural areas of many countries, although they are also found in some metropolitan areas.
Dirt roads vary in width; ones that link heavy industry are typically wide, while private roads are typically so narrow that two vehicles side by side might not fit.

 How to maintain a dirt road by Marjorie Burris Issue 48
In our 25 years of maintaining a dirt road, we have found that, whether you use hand tools or heavy machinery, there are three main objectives: control the flow of water around the road, remove obstacles, and fill in the ruts—usually in that order.
The dirt dug out of the ditch is mounded across the road on the downgrade side, making a bump which blocks the water from running down the road and making it flow off the road through the rock-lined ditch.
Several places on the road are too narrow to leave all the debris, however, so we have tried to pull some of the dirt down from the top of the bank to work it back farther away from the road.

Brookes begins by quoting Blake: "The crooked unimproved roads are the roads of genius." Brookes goes on to discover for himself just what Blake means: "Dirt roads are a light footprint on the land, the most minimal concession to the automobile, the ragged fringe between civilization and wilderness.
there's nothing like a dirt road to demonstrate, without condescension, the diversity of the state, to assert its democracy." This is not nostalgic or frivolous conversation; this is seeing the forest for the trees, the means to the end, the single step toward a destination a long way off.
And yet a dirt road is " a reminder that the intersection between the human world and the natural one is lethal," Brookes demurs.

But that was before Red Dirt Road, a collection of coming-of-age songs in which country's most successful duo comes clean about who they are and what forged their turbo-tonk sound.
The title song is a spectacular and poignant slice of backwoods Southern milieu that melds the push of the gospel with the pull of desire--which, for a '60s teenager, meant girls, cars, and the beer-laced taste of freedom.
The same goes with "Red Dirt Road," a more Western approach to small town living, dirt, sunshine, beer, good friends, and lost loves...and this album seems to be haunted as well.
