Me And This Road

By Chris Knight

Written by Chris Knight

CD – The Jealous Kind

Capo 1

G D/F# Em Cadd9

An old county road runs by my house and ends on the river bank

G D/F# Cadd9

In '73 they shut the ferry down

G D/F# Em Cadd9

Back up the road there's a church and a store with a bench full of lying old men

G D/F# Cadd9

In the middle of a wide spot they call a town

I'm just a young man living to make me old plowing these fields by the river road

Where hopes dreams and my granddaddy lived and died

They go as far as my eyes can see but they ain't far enough for me

When I drive to the river and I look at the other side

Chorus

G Cadd9 G Cadd9

Me and this road, we ain't been nowhere

G Cadd9 D

As far as I know this whole world's just a county fair

Cadd9 D Em Cadd9

But somewhere there's a bridge that'll take us out of here

G D/F# Cadd9

Free as a river flows me and this road

We'll find a long stretch of blacktop where there ain't no dead-end signs

And leave these fences fields and farms behind

There's a bigger town on a bigger road fame and fortune I've been told

And across that river we'll search 'til i find mine

Chorus

Solo

Well I shook my father's hand now I'm off to find the promised land

And I hope I bring him back a little gold

You know his dream was the same as mine but it got lost somewhere in time

In a dusty field along that river road

Chorus
