Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream) (Live) (Live) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]
Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall[00:00:06]
Of a little run down 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[00:00:29]
We lived our day to day in plain dirt fashion[00:00:35]
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[00:00:46]
But momma kept the bible read and daddy kept our family fed[00:00:52]
And somewhere in between I must have grown[00:00:58]
Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'[00:01:04]
Takes me down the road to where I want to go[00:01:09]
Now I know it's a long hard road[00:01:15]
Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night[00:01:33]
When the sun up came we got up and went[00:01:39]
In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent[00:01:45]
Singin' songs along with gramma's radio[00:01:51]
Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road sleepin' in a sack[00:01:57]
Livin' in my memories all in vain[00:02:03]
'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what its like[00:02:08]
To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain[00:02:14]
Momma played the guitar then and daddy made the saw blade bend[00:02:20]
And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum[00:02:26]
But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'[00:02:32]
Takes me down the road to where my name is known[00:02:37]
Now I'm gone and its a long hard road[00:02:43]
Yes I know its a long hard road[00:02:49]
