Long Lonely Road

G Pile in the church pew rows G Gran made the best yeast rolls Cadd9 Gospel stories told Cadd9 About the one way to save your soul G Drag out the old guitar G Gas up that old Ford car Cadd9 We're gonna hit the dusty road Cadd9 Four wheels can bear the load D It's been a long Cadd9 G It's been a long, long, long, long, long lonely road G Pops earned his bread in dust G But his hard-working hands fed us Cadd9 Sun up till sun sank down Cadd9 His body worked to the ground G Folks thought we had it made G 'Cause we always kept a face Cadd9 Meanwhile there's bills to pay Cadd9 And the stack growing every day D It's been a long Cadd9 G It's been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long, lonely road D My, my, my, it's been a long Cadd9 G Been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long, lonely road | D | Cadd9 | G | G | | D | Cadd9 | G | G | G Soon as I turned eighteen G I packed up, the grass is green Cadd9 New York or Tennessee Cadd9 Where I am is where I'll be G Darling, tell me about your plans G And I have a place in mind Cadd9 Surely there'll be a way Cadd9 To move towards a brighter day D It's been a long Cadd9 G It's been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long, lonely road D My, my, my, it's been a long Cadd9 G It's been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long, lonely road D My, my, my, it's been a long Cadd9 G It's been a long, long, long, long, lonely road G One person's path unpaid G Went towards the path that saved Cadd9 These are the songs you sing Cadd9 In the search for the grass that's green D It's been a long Cadd9 G Been a long, long, long, lonely road
