Topic: Black Tree Road

This is a fictional song played fast, in a southern Rock and Roll style.About the place where this young man came of age.Lots of good ole boy lead in the breaks,four part harmony on the "Blacktree Road" with a hopping piano to boot. I had some fun writing this as it is way off my normal style of writing. smile Enjoy





Blacktree Road by Ken Peters


July23/08




I was [A]raised in the south of Texas.


[A]When I was young I was bold and restless.


I had a [E]girlfriend she was breathless,and we would [D]party down on Blacktree [A]Road.


Now Suzy [A]Lee was young and sexy.


And [A]just one look from her eyes would hex me.


But in the [E]moonlight she'd reject me,and thats the [D]way it was on Blacktree [A]Road.




On Blacktree [D]Road I learned to sing and dance.


On Blacktree [A]Road I fought and took a stance.


On Blacktree [D]Road I burned but I took a chance the [E]same.


I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.


For the [E]good times that I'm glad I had while [D]growing up on Blacktree [A]Road


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Road


[D]Growing up on Blacktree,[D]Growing up on Blacktree


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Ro-o-ad[E]


Now me and my [A]best friend Billy Porter,


[A]Would hop in my van and go across the border.


A box of [E]whiskey was the order,so we could [D]party down on Blacktree [A]Road.


Now Billy [A]Porter was good at drinkin,



[A]but Billy weren't really to good at thinkin.


He drove a [E]beat up rusty Lincoln and that's the [D]way it was on Blacktree [A]Road.


On Blacktree [D]Road I learned to sing and dance.


On Blacktree [A]Road I fought and took a stance.


On Blacktree [D]Road I burned but I took a chance the [E]same.


I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.


For the [E]good times that I'm glad I had while [D]growing up on Blacktree [A]Road


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Road


[D]Growing up on Blacktree,[D]Growing up on Blacktree


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Ro-o-o-o-a-a-a-d


[D]PARTY.............[A]PARTY.............[D]PARTY........all night [E]long.


[D]PARTY.............[A]PARTY


We used to [E]drink so hard we could hardly stand.


We used to [E]sing so loud like a big rock band.


And when the [E7]sun come we'd do it all aga-a-a-a-a-in.


No I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.


For the [E]good times that I'm glad I had while [D]growing up on Blacktree [A]Road.


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Road


[D]Growing up on Blacktree, Growing up on Blacktree


[D]Growing up on Blacktree [A]Ro-o-o-o-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad
