Lyrics Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)

Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall of a little run-down cabin in the woods

Where my daddy never promised that our blue moon would turn gold

But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would

When the world was on our radio

Hard work was on our minds

We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion

With ol' overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back

Man it's hard to make believe there ain't nothin' wrong

But mama kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed and somewhere in between

I must have grown

'Cos someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin' takes me down the road to where I wanna go

And now I know

It's a long hard road

Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night

When the sun-up came we got up and went

In the shadows of a workin' day

Our moonlight hours spent singin' songs along with Grandma's radio

Now I'm beatin' down an ol' blacktop road and sleepin' in a sack

Livin' in my memories all in vain

'Cos those city lights ain't all that bright compared to what it's like

To see lightnin' bugs go dancin' in the rain

Mama played the guitar then and daddy made the saw-blade bend

And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum

But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin' takes me down the road to where my name is known

Now I'm gone and it's a long hard road

Yes I know

It's a long hard road
