Way Dback in my Gmemory Dthere's a scene that I recall
Of Aa little runDdown cabin in the woods
Where my dad never Gpromised Dthat our blue moon would turn gold
But Ahe laid awake Dnights wishin' that it would
When the world Gwas on our Dradio hard work was on our minds
We lAived our daDy-to-day in plain dirt fashion
With ol' overalGls and coDtton balls all strapped across your back
Man, iAt's hard to makDe believe there ain't nothing wrong
But Bmmomma kept the GBible read and daddy kept our family fed
And somewhere in bAetween I must have grown
CausBme someday I waGs dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
Takes Dme down the Aroad to where I want to go
Now BmI Aknow, Dit's a long hard road
Sometimes I GremembDer when I stayed up late at night
When tAhe sun-up caDme, we got up and went
In the shadows of Ga workDing' day our moonlight hours spent
SingiAn' songs aDlong with Gramma's radio
Now I'm beatin' doGwn a oDl' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack
LiAvin' in my meDmories all in vain
Cause those city lGights aiDn't all that bright compared to what its like
To see ALightning BDugs go dancin' in the rain
MomBmma played the gGuitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend
And raDindrops playAed the tin roof like a drum
But BmI just kept Gon dreamin' that a song that I was singin'
Takes Dme down the roaAd to where my name is known
Now BmI'm gAone, aDnd it`s a long hard road
Yes,Bm I Aknow, Dit`s a long hard road.
