Justin Moore –  This Is My Dirt autobiographical :40

“My grandfather, my mom’s dad, when he was born, his mother passed. And so, he was raised by his grandpa on this piece of property. I was raised here. My mom and dad raised me here and they still live here on the property. And so, when I was looking for land, when we moved back home from Tennessee, my grandfather, he said, ‘Why don’t you just buy this?’ Certainly, it was a pretty good discount. I did buy it though, it wasn’t given to me. But I thought the opportunity to be able to raise my kids – now that would be, I don’t know how many generations, that would be three I guess, or four, that it’s been in our families. So, ‘This Is My Dirt,’ it’s really autobiographical, to be honest.”
