Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall

Of a little run down cabin in the woods

Where my dad never promised

that our blue moon would turn gold

But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would

When the world was on our radio

hard work was on our minds

We lived our day to day in plain dirt fashion

ol' overalls and cotton balls

all strapped across your back

Man it's hard to make believe

there ain't nothing wrong

But momma kept the Bible read

and daddy kept our family fed

And somewhere in between I must have grown

Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song

that I was singin'

Takes me down the road to where I want to go

Now I know it's a long hard road

Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night

When the sun up came we got up and went

In the shadows of a working' day

our moonlight hours spent

Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio

Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road

sleepin' in a sack

Livin' in my memories all in vain

'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright

compared to what its like

To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain

Momma played the guitar then

and daddy made the saw blade bend

And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum

But I just kept on dreamin' that a song

that I was singin'

Takes me down the road to

where my name is known

Now I'm gone and its a long hard road

Yes I know Its a long hard road
