Marshall Tucker Band
Intro:
F – C – G
It's
a lonesome road and a hard way to live; But it's the only life that I know
I
meet some people a-travelin' around; But home's always the best place to go
<CHORUS>
F C G
And there's a lonesome feeling in my mind
A feeling that I can't leave behind
Carolina's where I'm at and I'll always hang my hat
Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
Well
I got me a woman back home; She gave me a baby too
And
she stands by my loving side; And does anything I ask her to
<CHORUS>
G F
There's
an old man sittin' in a rocking chair
Who's
got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told
But
his shotgun a-done got too rusty
That
old Beagle dog he done grown a little too old
As
he stares up into heaven, I'm sure I know the reason why
He's
a-thinkin' about that Promised Land; In them Blue Ridge Mountain skies
