Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall
A DOf a little run-down cabin in the woods
G DWhere my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold
But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would
G DWhen the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds
A DWe lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion
With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
A DMan, it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong
Bm GBut momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed
And somewhere in between I must have grown
Bm GCause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
D ATakes me down the road to where I want to go
Bn A D
Now I know, it's a long hard road
G DSometimes I remember when I stayed up late at night
A DWhen the sun-up came, we got up and went
In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent
A DSingin' songs along with Gramma's radio
G DNow I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack
Livin' in my memories all in vain
G DCause those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what its like
A DTo see Lightning Bugs go dancin' in the rain
Momma played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend
D AAnd raindrops played the tin roof like a drum
Bm GBut I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
Takes me down the road to where my name is known
Bm A DNow I'm gone, and its a long hard road
Bm A DYes, I know, Its a long hard road.
