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

Em G D
      G            D
Once upon a road really was a crazy time
             Em     G            D
We believed we could move mountains so we moved them in our minds
              G                 D
Blood and sweat and bitter tears took the days and took the years
            Em  G           D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
      G                D
Once upon a road we were young and we were fair
            Em
Changed the face of all America
G                  D
But never hung around in the barber chair
            G             D
We were fighting for a dream fought a mighty big machine
              Em  G           D
There ain`t nothing that we know for being once upon a road
            Em  G           D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
