Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]

Written by：Crowell Rodney[00:00:00]

Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall[00:00:06]

Of a little rundown cabin in the woods[00:00:11]

Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold[00:00:17]

But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would[00:00:23]

When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds[00:00:28]

We lived our day to day in plain dirt fashion[00:00:34]

With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back[00:00:40]

Man it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong[00:00:45]

But mama kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed[00:00:51]

And somewhere in between I must have grown[00:00:57]

'Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'[00:01:02]

Takes me down the road to where I want to go[00:01:07]

Now I know it's a long hard road[00:01:13]

Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night[00:01:31]

When the sun up came we got up and went[00:01:36]

In the shadows of a working day our moonlight hours spent[00:01:42]

Singin' songs along with grandma's radio[00:01:48]

Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack[00:01:53]

Livin' in my memories all in vain[00:02:00]

'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what it's like[00:02:05]

To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain[00:02:10]

Mama played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend[00:02:16]

And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum[00:02:21]

But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'[00:02:28]

Takes me down the road to where my name is known[00:02:32]

Now I'm gone and it's a long hard road[00:02:38]

Yes I know it's a long hard road[00:02:44]
