Long Old Dusty Road Jerry Jeff Walker
(C)(hold) Seemed like only yesterday we (F)(hold)first drove up that ro(C)ad
Looking back, I (Am)see it's more like (Dm7) twenty odd years a(G)go.
(C) We were young and (Am)so in love, with a (F)long, long row to (C)hoe,
We came and (C/B)went and our (Am)lives were spent up a (F)long old dusty ro(C)ad.
(Am) (G) (C) (Am) (G) (C)
When we first got (Am)married, we (F)searched to find a ho(C)me,
We found one (Am)at the end of a (Dm7)long old dusty ro(G)ad.
(C) We fixed it (Am)up with love and (F)watched our children gro(C)w,
The years flew (C/B)by and we (Am)lived our lives up (F)the long old dusty ro(C)ad.
(Am) (G) (C) (Am) (G) (C)
When our children (Am)came, we added (F)one room at the sta(C)rt,
But what was really (Am)added on was (Dm7)more room in our he(G)arts.
(C) Then our house went (Am)from a thing we (F)used to a happy ho(C)me,
A place that (C/B)shared a (Am)common face, up a (F)long old dusty ro(C)ad. (G)
Yeah, the (Am)home is where you (G)dream your dreams,
It's (F)where your children gr(C)ow,
It's (Am)where you take your (F)meals, where you say your (C)prayers, (G)
And the (Am)first home that you e(G)ver own
Is where (F)all those memories st(C)art
And it (Dm7)always holds a (F)special place (Dm7)deep inside your he(G)art.
(C) Then came we (Am)day we faced the (F)facts, our kids had gr(C)own,
Seemed our little (Am)family had (Dm7)just outgrown our ho(G)me.
(C) I didn't be(Am)lieve we'd leave the (F)hilltop we loved s(C)o,
But there comes a ´(C/B)time when you (Am)say goodbye To the (F)long old dusty ro(C)ad. (G)
'Cause a (Am)home is where you (G)dreamed your dreams,
It's where (F)all your children gr(C)ow,
It's (Am)where you took your (F)meals, where you said your (C)prayers,
And the (Am)first home that you (G)ever own,
That's where (F)all those memories st(C)art,
And it (Dm7)always holds a (F)special place (Dm7)deep inside your he(G)art.
Seems like only (Am)yesterday we (F)first drove up that ro(C)ad,
Looking back I (Am)see it's more like (Dm7) twenty odd years a(G)go.
(C) We were young and (Am)so in love, with a (F)long, long row to h(C)oe,
We came and (C/B)went and our (Am)lives were spent
Up a (Dm7)long old dusty ro(C)ad, (F) (G)
We (C)came and (C/B)went and our (Am)lives were spent
Up a (F)(hold)long old dusty (C)road. (F) (G) (C) (F) (G) (C)
