And no county road runs by my house, _ ends on the riverbank. _ _
In 73 they [Eb] shut the [Ab] ferry down, _ _ _ _ _ and back up the road to church and a store with a bitch
full of lying old men. _
In the middle of a wide [Eb] spot they [Ab] call a town. _ _ _
And I'm just a young man living to make me old, plowing these fields by the river road,
where hopes, dreams, and [Eb] my granddaddy [Ab] lived and died. _ _ _
And they go as far as my eyes can [Eb] see, but they [Fm] ain't [Ab] far enough for me, when I drive
to the river [Eb] and I look at the other [Db] _ [Ab] side. _ _
And in this road, _ _ there ain't been nowhere _ as far as I _ know. _
_ This whole [Eb] world's just a county fair, _ [Ab] but somewhere there's a [Eb] bridge _ [Fm] that'll take _ us
out of here, [Ab] _ free as a river [Eb] flows.
And in [Db] this road, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ you'll find a long stretch [Eb] of black tide, [Fm] where there ain't no dead [Db] end
signs, [Ab] and these fences [Eb] filled and far as [Ab] behind. _ _
_ _ _ There's a bigger town [Eb] on a bigger road, _ [Ab] fame and fortune [Db] I've been [Ab] told, and across that
river [Eb] we'll search till I [Db] find mine. _
_ _ And in [Ab] this _ road, [Db] _ there ain't been [Ab] _ nowhere [Db] as _ [Ab] far as I know. _
[Db] _ _ This [Eb] whole world's just a county fair, _ [Db] but somewhere there's [Eb] a bridge [Fm] that'll take us
out [Db] of here, _ _ [Ab] free as a river [Eb] flows.
And in [Db] this road. _

_ _ [Ab] _ Well, I shook my father's [Eb] hand, now [Fm] I'm [Ab] off to find the promised land, _ and I hope I'll
bring [Eb] him back a little [Db] gold.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ And you know his dream was the [Eb] same as mine, but it [Fm] got lost somewhere [Db] in time, [Ab] in a dusty
field [Eb] along that river [Db] _ _ road.
_ _ And in [Ab] this road, _
[Db] _ there ain't [Ab] been nowhere _
[Db] _ as far as [Ab] I know. _ _
[Db] _ _ This [Eb] whole world's just a county fair, _ [Db] but somewhere there's [Eb] a bridge _ [Fm] that'll take us
[Db] out of here, _ _ [Ab] free as a river [Eb] _ flows.
And in [Db] this road. _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ Free as a river [Eb] flows.
And in [Db] this road. _ _
