Song: |
6 6 6 -6 -6 6 5 4 4 4 4 4 5
Way back in my memory there�s a scene that I recall
5 5 -4 -4 -4 4 5 5 -4 -4 5
Of a little rundown cabin in the woods
6 6 6 6 -6 -6 6 6 6 6 4 4 4 5
Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold
5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 5 5 5 4 4
But he laid awake nights wishin� that it would.
When the world was on our radio, hard work was on our minds
We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion
With ol� overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
Man, it�s hard to make believe there ain�t nothing wrong
[Chorus:]
6 -6-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6
But Mama kept the Bible read and Daddy kept our family fed
6 6 5 5 6 6 5 5 6 6 5 -4
And somewhere in between I must have grown
6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7
'Cause someday I was dreamin� that a song that I was singin�
-6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 -4
Takes me down the road to where I want to go
-4 5 5 -4 4 4 4 4 -3 4 4
Now I know, it�s a long hard road
Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night
When the sunup came, we got up and went
In the shadows of a working� day, our moonlight hours spent
Singin� songs along with Grandma�s radio
Now I�m beatin� down a ol� blacktop road, sleepin� in a sack,
Livin� in my memories all in vain
�Cause those city lights ain�t all that bright, compared to what it�s like
To see lightning bugs go dancin� in the rain
[Chorus]
-6-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6
Mama played the guitar then and Daddy made the saw blade bend,
6 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 6 6 5 -4
And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum
6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 7 -7
But I just kept on dreamin� that a song that I was singin�
-6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 5 -4
Takes me down the road to where my name is known
-4 5 5 -4 4 4 4 4 4 -3 4 4
Now I�m gone, and it�s a long hard road
-4 5 5 -4 4 4 4 4 -3 4 4
Yes, I know, it�s a long hard road |
