We're back in my memory [Gm] there's something that [D] I recall
[A] Of a little run down cabin [D] in old
Well my daddy never promised [G] that our balloon [D] would turn gold
[A] But playaway nights we [D] shouldn't anymore
And when the world was on our radio, [G] heart was [D] on our minds
[A] We'd get dark day to day and play [D] dirt passion
Low roller rods and cotton [G] bows all strapped [D] across your back
[A] Man it's hard to make believe ain't [D] nothing wrong
Mama [Bm]
kept the bible [G] read and daddy kept our family [D] fed
And somewhere in between I [A] must have grown
[Bm] Cause someday I was dreaming [G] that a song that I was singing
[D] Takes me down the road to where I [A] want to go
I [Bm] know [A] it's [D] a long hard road
Sometimes [G] [D] [A]
[D]
I remember [G] when I stood [D] late at night
[A] When old Sue came and we [D] got up and went
And in the shadows of work [G] and at home
[D] Moonlight never spinning, singing [A] songs along with grandma [D] on the radio
Down beating down an old blacktop [G] road, sleeping [D] in a sack
[A]
Littering to those memories [D] on me
So city lights ain't all that [G] bright, compared to [D] what it's like
[A] To see the light above go dancing [D] in the rain
Mama [Bm]
played the [F#m] guitar [G] then and daddy made the soft lead [D] band
And raindrops played the tin roof [A] like a drum
But [Bm] I just kept on dreaming [G] that a song that I was singing
[D] Takes me down the road to where our [A] name's known
[Bm] And I'm gone, [A] and it's a [D] long hard road
[C#m] Yeah [Bm] I know, [A] it's a [D] long hard road
