Blacktop

              G 
This ain't no song about the good old days 
       C   D           G 
Simpler times or easy ways 

Or how I long for an old dirt road 
        C   D               G 
Greener grass or a lighter load 



      G                         C 
I was glad to see the blacktop 
                            G 
When they laid it down in '65 

Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop 
C       D          G 
No more dust in my eyes 



           G 
Rain would fall and the mud would rise 
           C  D                G 
Through my toes in the summer time 

August heat would dry that clay 
          C   D               G 
Dust went flying like a dandelion 



      G                         C 
I was glad to see the blacktop 
                            G 
When they laid it down in '65 

Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop 
C       D          G 
No more dust in my eyes 

 

            G 
Stubbed my toes on rocks and stones 
            C   D          G 
Slipped and fell in old potholes 

Watched my mama shake that line 
           C          D                      G 
Dust them clothes off hanging in the hot sunshine 

 

      G                        C 
I was glad to see the blacktop 
                            G 
When they laid it down in '65 

Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop 
C       D          G 
No more dust in my eyes
