[E]
There's another one we can thank right before.
[F#m] Two dogs [E] along our road.
Way back in my memory [A] there's a scene [E] that I recall
[B] Of a little run down avenue
[E] And my daddy never [A] promised that I'd be here
[E] [B] But it'll lay on my tushin that [E] he wore
When the world was on our [A] radio
And our work was [E] on our phone
[B] When the dying day to day was [E] made to fashion
With old overalls and cotton [A] balls
On a stack of [E] crumbs you'd buy
[B] I was hard of hearing believing [E] that they'd rob me
[C#m] Mama kept the [G#m] bottle [A] red
And daddy kept up [E] and he fell
And I could saw that in between I [B] was the crumb
And [C#m] I just kept on [Em] dreaming [A] of a song
That I would sing it [E] takes me down
You know who threw my [B] name [F#m] down
[B] And [C#m] now I know [B] it's [E] a long hard road
Oh, I know
[A] [E] [B]

[A] [E] [B]
[E]
Sometimes I remember [A] when I stayed up [E] late at night
[B] Sun came and we [E] got up in the heat
In the shadows of our working [A] day I knew that [E] I'd stay
[B] Sing songs along with [E] grandma's baby roses
I'm skipping down an old [A] blacktop road
I'm skipping [E] inside
[B] Living in my memory [E] of all the pain
I saw the city lights hang all that [A] bright
Compared to [E] the cold edge light
[B] Just see the lightning but no danger [E] No more
[C#m] Mama played a free child
[A] And daddy made a soft [E] bacon
And raindrops played a tune
[B] Proved you like a girl
[C#m] And I just kept on [E] dreaming [A] that a song
That I would sing it [E] takes me down
You know who threw my [B] name down
[G#m] [C#m] And now I know [B] it's [E] a long hard road
[C#m] Yes, I [B] know [E] it's a long hard road

[E] [N] That I would sing it takes me down
You know who threw my name down
