Once upon a road when I was innocent and free
Bm G D
And the back roads of America were like a toyland to me
G D
It surely was the promised land and we had ourselves to please
Bm G D
Oh how the milk and honey flowed that was once upon a road
G D
Once upon a road we could live off of the land
Bm G D
Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin' in a pan
G D
Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree
Bm G D
Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road
G D
Once upon a road really was a crazy time
Bm G D
When we thought 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
Bm 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
Bm G D
Changed the face of all America but never in a barber chair
G D
We were fighting for a dream we tried to buck that money scheme
Bm G D
There ain't nothing that we know for being once upon a road
Bm G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
Bm G D
We have little left to show for being once upon a road
