Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)

Way back in my memory, there’s a scene that I recall\nof a little run down cabin in the woods\nwhere my daddy never promised that our blue moon would turn gold\nbut he lay awake nights wishing that it would\nwhen the world was on our radio, hard work was on our minds.\nwe lived our day to day and plain dirt fashion.\nwith ol' overalls and cotton balls all scrapped across your back,\nit’s hard to make believe ain’t nothing wrong\nbut mama kept the Bible read\nand daddy kept our family fed\nand somewhere in between I must have grown\nCause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singing takes me down to\nwhere I wanna go\nNow I know, it’s a long hard road.\nSometimes I remember when I stay up late at night\nWhen the summer came, we got up and went\nand the shadows of a workin' day\nour moonlight hour spent singing songs along with grandma’s radio.\nNow I’ve beaten down an old blacktop road\nand sleepin' in a sack\nliving up my memories all in vain\nCause those city lights ain’t all that bright\nCompared to what it’s like\nto see lightning bugs go dancing in the rain\nMama played the guitar then\nand daddy made the sawblade bend\nand raindrops played the tin roof like a drum\nBut I just kept on dreaming that a song that I was singing\nTakes me down a road to where my name is known\nNow I’m gone and it’s a long, hard road.\nYes, I know it’s a long hard road
