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 |
