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.
