DI gave D/C#up the D/Bfast lanD/Ae for a Gblacktop G/F#county Emroad
DJust burned out all that talk aAbout the mother lode
DI traded D/C#for a D/BsongbirdD/A and aG bigger G/F#piece of Emsky
DWhen I miss the good old days, I Acan’t imaginDe why
Chorus:
Still I get Grestless and drive into Dtown
I Acruise once down Main Street and turn back arDound
It’s crazy buGt God knows I don’t actD my age
Like an old desperAado who paints the town Dbeige
D D/C# D/B D/A
Down along the river and past the swimming hole
You can find your peace of mind with just a fishin’ pole
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
And never stop believin’ in that dream around the bend
Chorus
Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl
There’s really nothin’ much to do until the first spring thaw
It’s then I get to thinkin’ I must have gone insane
Old memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
