Verse:
                 D                              A
Last night I was dreamin', I had troubles in my way
D               A             E
Looking for the comfort of my mama far away
      A               D
I was walking down an old dirt road
                        A
Tears streamin' from my eyes

When a wise old woman come up and asked me why

And she said

Well, this old woman smiled like gold and her words came none too soon
   D                    A
My eyes got wide and my tears they dried
      E
And I got a smile on too
    A                      D
And as I looked her in the eye
      D                   A
I saw myself on down this road
D            A           E              A    D A  A D A
Helpin' some little girl lighten up her load

She said, "There's just one thing I'll tell you before I walk away
     D                  A                 E
It's your own life your livin', you gotta start actin' that way
