《Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream)》歌词

[00:00:00] Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

[00:00:06] Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall

[00:00:11] Of a little run-down cabin in the woods

[00:00:17] Where my dad never promised that our blue moon would turn gold

[00:00:23] But he laid awake nights wishin' that it would

[00:00:28] When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds

[00:00:34] We lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion

[00:00:40] With overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back

[00:00:45] Man it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong

[00:00:51] But momma kept the Bible read and daddy kept our family fed

[00:00:57] And somewhere in between I must have grown

[00:01:02] Cause someday I was dreamin' that a song that I was singin'

[00:01:07] Takes me down the road to where I want to go

[00:01:13] Now I know it's a long hard road

[00:01:31] Sometimes I remember when I stay up late at night

[00:01:36] When the sun-up came we got up and went

[00:01:42] In the shadows of a working' day our moonlight hours spent

[00:01:48] Singin' songs along with Gramma's radio

[00:01:53] Now I'm beatin' down a blacktop road sleepin' in a sack

[00:02:00] Livin' in my memories all in vain

[00:02:05] Cause those city lights ain't all that bright

[00:02:08] Compared to what it's like

[00:02:10] To see lightning bugs go dancin' in the rain

[00:02:16] Momma played the guitar then

[00:02:19] And daddy made the saw blade bend

[00:02:22] And raindrops played the tin roof like a drum

[00:02:28] But I just kept on dreamin' that a song that I was singin'

[00:02:32] Takes me down the road to where my name is known

[00:02:38] Now I'm gone and it's a long hard road

[00:02:44] Yes I know

[00:02:46] It's a long hard road
