Recorded by Tom T. Hall

intro  Em G  D

D           G                             D
Once upon a road  when I was innocent and free
                      A        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
                          A       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
                   A       G                   D
Watermelons on the vine  chicken cookin' in a pan
                      G                               D
Water clean and water free  you could sleep beneath a tree
                         A     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
                          A           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
                       A     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
                        A 
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
                            A     G                     D
There ain't nothing that we know  for being once upon a road
                       A     G                     D
We have little left to show  for being once upon a road
