Long Hard Road

D                               G            D 
Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall 
     A                            D 
Of a little run-down cabin in the woods 
         D                           G                    D 
Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold 
       A                                 D 
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

    Bm                            G 
But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed 
    D                                A 
And somewhere in between I must have grown 
      Bm                            G 
Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin' 
         D                                A 
Takes me down the road to where I want to go 
      Bm    A                D 
Now I know, it's a long hard road
--------------------
 
 
Sometimes I remember when I stayed up late at night 
When the sun-up came, we got up and went 
In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent 
Singin' songs along with Gramma'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 its like 
To see lightning Bugs go dancin' in the rain
