Gravel Roads Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Gary Stephens

[INTRO]
pick from [E] [D] [A] [E]
Random pick ad lib

[E]I grew up [D]walkin down a [A]little gravel [E]road
[D]Yellin for all my [A]buddies to come play [E]ball
[E]We filled up all the [D]daylight between [A]morning and [E]night
[D]I look back now with [A]wonder at that [E]life
My [D]house was on the [A]dead end of a [E]dead end gravel [A]road

[E]Drove my first [D]car down those [A]little gravel [E]roads
[D]Kissed my first [A]girl friend and fell in[E] love
[E]Got my heart [D]broke there but I [A]lived to love [E]again
[D]We'd lay on our backs and [A]stare up at the s[E]tars
[D]Married my high school [A]sweatheart she's from [E]those little gravel [A]roads

My [D]dad worked at the factory so he [A]got me my first job
Building [E]cars as they rolled down the [A]line
That [D]factory was the lifeline [A]of our little town
The hours were [E]long and the work was h[A]ard
In 1[D]973 the price of [A]oil went through the roof
Left me [E]standin in the unemployment [A]line

[E]Took my wife and [D]kids I left those [A]little gravel [E]roads
[D]Moved far [A]away to make a new [E]start
[E]The sun always [D]shines here and the [A]snow it never [E]falls
[D]But those little gravel [A]roads still fill my [E]heart
And I [D]can't stop [A]yearning for those [E]little gravel [A]roads

[E]I've been away too [D]long from those [A]little gravel [E]roads
[D]And one day I [A]know I'll be goin [E]home
[E]My kids are all [D]grown and [A]now they're on their [E]own
[D]And all my workin [A]days will soon be [E]done
[D]I'll see my friends and fam[A]ily on those [E]little gravel [A]roads

Then o[D]ne day I'll be [A]carried down a [E]little gravel [D]road [A]
