[Primeira Parte]
G
This ain't no song about the good old days
C D G
Simpler times or easy ways
Or how I long for an old dirt road
C D G
Greener grass or a lighter load
[Refrão]
G C
I was glad to see the blacktop
G
When they laid it down in '65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop
C D G
No more dust in my eyes
[Segunda Parte]
G
Rain would fall and the mud would rise
C D G
Through my toes in the summer time
August heat would dry that clay
C D G
Dust went flying like a dandelion
[Refrão]
[Terceira Parte]
G
Stubbed my toes on rocks and stones
C D G
Slipped and fell in old potholes
Watched my mama shake that line
C D G
Dust them clothes off hanging in the hot sunshine
[Refrão]
