Текст (слова) песни: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper`s Dream)
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 momma 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 Gramma`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 its like To see lightning bugs go dancin` in the rain.
Momma 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 its a long hard road Yes, I know, Its a long hard road.
