Once Upon A Road

Em  G  D

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
            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

[Verse 3]
            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
