[Verse 1]
G C G D
Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall of a little rundown cabin in the
G
woods
G C G D
our Daddy never promised that are bluemoon would turn gold but he laid awake all night
G
wishing that it would
G C G D
When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds we lived our day-to-day in
G
plain dirt fashion
G C G
with the old overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
D G
'n it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong
[Chorus]
Em C G
Momma kept the Bible read and Daddy kept our family fed and somewhere in between I must
D
have grown
Em C G
because I just kept on dreaming that a song that I was singing takes me down the road to
D
where I wanna go
Em D G
now I know it's a long hard road
[Verse 2]
G C G D
Sometimes I remember when I'd stay up late at night when the sun up came we got up and
G
went
G C G D
and the shadows of a working day our moonlight hours spent singing songs along with
G
Grandma's radio
G C G D
Now I'm beating down this old blacktop road sleeping in a sack living up my memories all
G
in vain
G C G
because those city lights and all that bright compared to what it's like
D G
to see lightning bugs go dancing in the rain
[Chorus]
Em C G
Momma played the guitar then and Daddy made the sawblade band and raindrops played our
D
tin roof like a drum
Em C G
but I just kept on dreaming that a song that I was singing takes me down the road to
D
where my name is known
Em D G
now I'm gone and it's a long hard road
[Outro]
Em D G
Yes I know, it's a long hard road
