I’ve been up and I’ve been down
C
F
I’ve worked the fields I’ve plowed the ground
C
F
I’ve taken strain and pressure
G7
Till I thought I might explode
C
F
Now I yearn for childhood days
C
F
Of model planes and lemonade
C
When the day stretched out before me
G7
C
Like a long long Texas road
F
C
Am
Yes a long long Texas road bout a million miles or so
F

When you’re just a child there ain’t no time but now
F
C
Am
Must have left that long old road seven hundred years ago
F
G7
C
And I’d find it once again if I knew how
F
I’ve worked in city factories
C
F
Their plastic dirt still clings to me
C
F
Monotony near killed me Lord
G7
It was a heavy load
C
F
Now I dream of comic books
C
F
And horny toads and fishing hooks
C
When the day stretched out before me
G7
C
Like a long long Texas road
F
I’ve worked in city factories
C
F
Their plastic dirt still clings to me
C
F
Monotony near killed me Lord
G7
It was a heavy load
F
So I watch the children play
C
F
And dream my dreams of yesterday
C
F
Don’t tell them to be grateful
G7
I’m sure that they’ve been told
C
F
If I knew then what I know now
C
F
That would have messed it up somehow
C
When the day stretched out before me
G7
C
Like a long long Texas road
F
I’ve worked in city factories
C
F
Their plastic dirt still clings to me
C
F
Monotony near killed me Lord
G7
It was a heavy load
