INTRO RE SOL LA
SOL RE LA RE
January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight
SOL RE LA
Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear
SOL RE LA RE
We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something
SOL RE LA
He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears
RE SOL RE
Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm...
SOL LA RE LA
20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me...
SOL LA RE SOL LA
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."
SOL RE LA RE
He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky
SOL RE LA
The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands
SOL RE LA RE
He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window
SOL RE LA
And his reflection flew across the moonlit land
RE SOL RE
And he dreamed he was back on the farm
SOL LA RE LA
Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning
SOL LA RE SOL LA
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar
SOL RE LA RE
An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway
SOL RE LA
Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night
SOL RE LA RE
I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me
SOL RE LA
I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes
RE SOL RE
And I dreamed I was with him on the farm
SOL LA RE LA
"Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn...
SOL LA RE SOL LA
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...
SOL LA RE SOL LA
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...
SOL LA RE SOL LA
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."
SOL LA RE
And the bus rolled through the night...
