Long Hard Road (the Sharecropper's Dream) Lyrics - Plain Dirt Fashion/partners, Brothers And Friends - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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 mama 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 grandma'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 it's like 

To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain

Mama 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 it's a long, hard road 

Yes, I know, it's a long, hard road
