Hauling Cane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He was from the southern side,
[G]wore a farmer's [D]tan
[G]And he'd [D]drop by the feed
store every now [A]and then
[D]I was kind of partial to[C]
[G]his awkward smile
[D]And h[G]e was kind of
par[D]tial [A]to [D]mine
We hung out together [G]for a month or so
[D]The[G]n we got real serious[D],
but we [A]took it slow
[D]Sneaking through the sugar sta[C]lks,
[G]he took both my [D]heads
[G]He was sweet,
[D]but I [A]was scared [D]and [A]ran
[G]Imagine how our [D]lives might look
[G]If only I'd have [D]stayed
[G]I'd be raising ba[D]bies
And [A]he'd be hauling [D]cane[A][D]
Well, I shot through soon after [G]I
went halfway across the [D]land[G]
I took to drilling [D]oil from
western [A]desert sand
[D]I never made it back this w[C]ay,
[G]I never saw the n[D]eed
[G]That was until [D]earlier [A]this
[D]week[A][D][Bm][A]
[G]The railway track[D]s are humming,
[G]and the mill is throwing [D]steam
[G]Feather tops are[D] waving over
[A]seas of [G]green
Nightlight has [D]changed,
oh so [G]I might have myself b[D]elieved
[G]And suddenly my [D]past is rushing [A]back
at [D]me[G][D][G][D][A]
[D][G]
Imagine how our [D]lives might look
[G]If only I could [D]stay
[G]I'd be raising ba[D]bies
And [A]he'd be hauling cane
[G]Imagine how our [D]lives might go
If [G]only I'd have been more [D]brave
[G]I'd be naming ba[D]bies
And [A]he'd be hauling [D]cane
Well, I've slowed back to [C]thirty
[G]I'm stuck behind this [D]thing
[G]I guess it's g[D]onna give
me [A]some more time to think
