[Intro]
pick from E D A E
Random pick ad lib
E D A E
I grew up walkin down a little gravel road
D A E
Yellin for all my buddies to come play ball
E D A E
We filled up all the daylight between morning and night
D A E
I look back now with wonder at that life
D A E A
My house was on the dead end of a dead end gravel road
E D A E
Drove my first car down those little gravel roads
D A E
Kissed my first girl friend and fell in love
E D A E
Got my heart broke there but I lived to love again
D A E
We'd lay on our backs and stare up at the stars
D A E A
Married my high school sweatheart she's from those little gravel roads
D A
My dad worked at the factory so he got me my first job
E A
Building cars as they rolled down the line
D A
That factory was the lifeline of our little town
E A
The hours were long and the work was hard
D A
In 1973 the price of oil went through the roof
E A
Left me standin in the unemployment line
E D A E
Took my wife and kids I left those little gravel roads
D A E
Moved far away to make a new start
E D A E
The sun always shines here and the snow it never falls
D A E
But those little gravel roads still fill my heart
D A E A
And I can't stop yearning for those little gravel roads
E D A E
I've been away too long from those little gravel roads
D A E
And one day I know I'll be goin home
E D A E
My kids are all grown and now they're on their own
D A E
And all my workin days will soon be done
D A E A
I'll see my friends and family on those little gravel roads
D A E D A
Then one day I'll be carried down a little gravel road
