E A
No shirt, no shoes, sun- tanned in bib over- alls
E
Tall timber, rushing streams, my home has it all
B7
My summer job, keep the garden hoed
E
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road
E A
Times were simple way back then
E
Do your chores early, then do them again
B7
And everbody carried his own load
E
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road
E A
No worry, the big war was far away
E
My uncles, they fought, so I'd have today
B7
Thanks to the bravery others showed
E
So I could be barefoot on a gravel road
E A
I've made a lot of foot-prints, and had my fill
E
Many times I have passed this cemetery hill
B7
The wagon is moving again, and this time I am the load
E
A lad, no longer barefoot on a gravel road.
