Intro 1
(E minor) (G major)
(D major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 1
This (D major) is a (E minor)
It was 94 degrees (A minor) in Saffield, (E minor) Georgia
The air hung like (A minor) syr up from the (E minor) trees
On a dusty county road
(A minor) this (E minor) story I was told
From the lips of Jesse Saw
(A minor) yer's weary soul (E minor)
He said my body and my
(A minor) mind are so (E minor) hungry
Hard workin' and I (A minor) know I'm a beaten (E minor) man
I was born on the (A minor) road,
never called (E minor) no place my home
I picked the food for the
(A minor) people of this land (E minor)
I'm a migrant and I (A minor) move
with the (E minor) seasons
Many years, many miles, (A minor) and many days (E minor)
It's nothing that I own,
(A minor) just to (E minor) travel on and on
Bend my back, break my (A minor) body for
my (E minor) wage (G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major)
(D major) (E minor)
I've got a wife, Sandy Bell, (A minor) six chil (E minor) dren
We just plan on a (A minor) -pickin' day to (E minor) day
We ain't like much anywhere
(A minor) Got the (E minor) law to duck and fish
We just pray,
we pray the (A minor) Lord will make a (E minor) way
Sandy Bell,
Lord she work (A minor) s right beside (E minor) me
For her children right (A minor) there on that road (E minor)
When the moon is down
(A minor) I know she (E minor) cries without a sound
And her tears are ly (A minor) ing upon her (E minor) face
Interlude 1
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
Verse 2
(E minor) Method
Step seven ten
Step thirteen
Step
Ain't no schools for me to
(A minor) send my little chil (E minor) dren
I hate to see them spend (A minor)
their lives this way (E minor)
Well, I do the best I can (A minor) ,
but (E minor) I don't understand
I don't know who made (A minor) the world this way (E minor)
It might help if I could see (A minor)
some way to (E minor) change it
If I thought we could (A minor) make it another way (E minor)
And it's my life, it's all I (A minor) know
It's a (E minor) sickness in my bones
And I know someday I'll (A minor) die on (B major)
that (E minor) road (G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major)
(E minor)
And I know (G major) someday I'll (B minor) die out on (D major) that road
(E minor)
