Intro: G C D7 G 

E                                             A 
No shirt, no shoes, sun- tanned in bib over- alls 
                                             E 
Tall timber, rushing streams, my home has it all 
                               B7 
My summer job, keep the garden hoed 
                                 E 
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road 

E                          A 
Times were simple way back then 
                                    E 
Do your chores early, then do them again 
                             B7 
And everbody carried his own load 
                                 E 
Just a lad, barefoot on a gravel road 

E                             A 
No worry, the big war was far away 
                                    E 
My uncles, they fought, so I'd have today 
                              B7 
Thanks to the bravery others showed 
                                   E 
So I could be barefoot on a gravel road 

E                                          A 
I've made a lot of foot-prints, and had my fill 
                                       E 
Many times I have passed this cemetery hill 
                                                  B7 
The wagon is moving again, and this time I am the load 
                                      E 
A lad, no longer barefoot on a gravel road.
