RE SOL RE
Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall
LA RE
Of a little run-down cabin in the woods
SOL RE
Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold
LA RE
But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would
SOL RE
When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds
LA RE
We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion
SOL RE
With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
LA RE
Man, it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong
SIm SOL
But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed
RE LA
And somewhere in between I must have grown
SIm SOL
Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
RE LA
Takes me down the road to where I want to go
Bn A D
Now I know, it's a long hard road
SOL RE
Sometimes I remember when I stayed up late at night
LA RE
When the sun-up came, we got up and went
SOL RE
In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent
LA RE
Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio
SOL RE
Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack
LA RE
Livin' in my memories all in vain
SOL RE
Cause those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what its like
LA RE
To see Lightning Bugs go dancin' in the rain
SIm SOL
Momma played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend
RE LA
And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum
SIm SOL
But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
RE LA
Takes me down the road to where my name is known
SIm LA RE
Now I'm gone, and its a long hard road
SIm LA RE
Yes, I know, Its a long hard road.
