Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall Of a little run-down cabin in the woods Where my dad 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 nothing wrong But mama kept the Bible read, and daddy kept our family fed And somewhere in between I must have grown 'Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin' Takes me down the road to where I want to go 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 working day, our moonlight hours spent Singin' songs along with grandma's radio Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road, sleepin' in a sack Livin' in my memories all in vain 'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright, compared to what it's like To see lightning 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
