Once Upon A Road Recorded by Tom T. Hall intro D Em G D D G D Once upon a road when I was innocent and free Em G D And the back roads of America were like toy land to me G D It surely was the promised land and we had ourselves a dream Em G D Oh how the milk and honey flowed once upon a road G D Once upon a road we could live off of the land Em G D Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin` in a pan G D Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree Em G D Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road
