Long hard road Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
----------------------------------------
Way[C] back in my [F]memory[C] there's a scene that I recall
Of [G]a little run[C]-down cabin in the woods
Where my dad never[F] promised[C] that our blue moon would turn gold
But[G] he laid awake [C]nights wishin' that it would
When the world [F]was on ou[C]r radio hard work was on our minds
We [G]lived our da[C]y-to-day in plain dirt fashion
With ol' overal[F]ls and co[C]tton balls all strapped across your back
Man, i[G]t's hard to mak[C]e believe there ain't nothing wrong
But[Am] momma kept the[F] Bible read and daddy kept our family fed
And[C] somewhere in b[G]etween I must have grown
Cau[Am]se someday I wa[F]s dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
Takes [C]me down the [G]road to where I want to go
Now[An] I [G]know, [C]it's a long hard road
Sometimes I [F]rememb[C]er when I stayed up late at night
When t[G]he sun-up ca[C]me, we got up and went
In the shadows of [F]a work[C]ing' day our moonlight hours spent
Singin[G]' songs a[C]long with Gramma's radio
Now I'm beatin' do[F]wn a o[C]l' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack
Li[G]vin' in my me[C]mories all in vain
Cause those city l[F]ights ain[C]'t all that bright compared to what its like
To see[G] Lightning B[C]ugs go dancin' in the rain
Mom[Am]ma played the g[F]uitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend
And ra[C]indrops play[G]ed the tin roof like a drum
But[Am] I just kept[F] on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
Takes [C]me down the roa[G]d to where my name is known
Now[Am] I'm g[G]one, a[C]nd its a long hard road
Yes[Am], I[G] know,[C] Its a long hard road.
