Once Upon A Road
Recorded by Tom T. Hall
[Intro]
Em G D
D G D
Once upon a road when I was innocent and free
A G D
And the back roads of America were like toy land to me
G D
It surely was the promised land and we had ourselves a dream
A G D
Oh how the milk and honey flowed once upon a road
G D
Once upon a road we could live off of the land
A G D
Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin' in a pan
G D
Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree
A G D
Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road
[Instrumental]
Em G D
G D
Once upon a road really was a crazy time
A G D
We believed we could move mountains so we moved them in our minds
G D
Blood and sweat and bitter tears took the days and took the years
A G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
G D
Once upon a road we were young and we were fair
A
Changed the face of all America
G D
But never hung around in the barber chair
G D
We were fighting for a dream fought a mighty big machine
A G D
There ain't nothing that we know for being once upon a road
A G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
[Outro]
