Verse 1
C
January,
G
back in fifty -five
D
We rode a Greyhound bus
G
through the Georgia midnight
C
G
Grandpa was sleeping,
D

D
and the winter sky was clear
C
G
We hit a ball,
D
but his head jerked back a little
G
And he mumbled something
C
G
He woke up smiling,
D
but his eyes were bright with tears
G
He said, I dreamed I was
C
G
C
back on the farm
G
C
Twenty years have passed,
G
D
but the memory still warms me
C
D
G
C
Wildflowers in a mason jar
G
C
G
He told me those old stories
D
G
about that one room cabin in Kentucky
C
G
The smell of rain
D
and the feel of the warm earth in his hands
C
G
He slowly turned and stared outside,
D
G
his face was milled in the window
C
G
And his reflection
D
flew across the moonlit land
G
And he dreamed he was
C
G
C
back on the farm
G
C
He tilts his head and listens
G
D
C
to the early sounds of morning
D
G
Wildflowers in a mason

jar
C
G
An old man and an eight -year -old boy
D
G
Rollin' down that midnight highway
C
G
Warm Kentucky memories
D
C
from a winter Georgia night
G
I started drifting off
D
G
and Grandpa took his coat around me
C
G
I think I tried to smile
D
as I slowly closed my eyes
G
C
And I dreamed I was living
G
C
on the farm
G
C
Grandpa, can hear the evening
G
D
C
wind out in the tall corn
D

Wildflowers in a mason jar

Wildflowers in a mason jar
D

And the bus rolled through the

night
