Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]
When [C]I was

[Verse 1]
[G]eight years old
I tried to leave [C]the farm
I flew a [G]homemade plane
Out of the loft of the [D]barn
If I could [G]go back now
You couldn't pay me to [C]leave
'Cause [G]that old gravel
[D]road was easy street
[G]

[Verse 2]
We were a four dog family
With some dreams and a flat- [C]bed truck
That ole [G]school bus would
rattle and shake
When it would pick us up
[D]Those cre[G]ek bank rocks
were hard on [C]our feet
But [G]that ole [D]gravel road
was easy street
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]That ole gravel road was easy [G]street
They used to say we were poor
But we were rich as we [D]could be
We were [G]down on our luck
But we were [C]up to our necks
in homemade love
[G]That ole gravel [D]road was easy

[Interlude 1]
street
[G][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
I thought [G]having it made was growing up
[C]Movin' off to [Bb]town, gettin[G]g' married
And going [D]to work but
those [G]sidewalk[D] s
Ain't [G]all they're cracked up to [C]be
[G]That [D]ole[G] gr[C]avel road was easy street

[Outro 1]
