Lady Longting
Dm-B-C  
[Verse1]
DmSitting here thinking
BDamn I'm getting a little older
CTrying to find some piece of mind
DmTake the weight of the world off my shoulders
Mmmm got me driving down the highway
BTrying to make it through each and every day
CFade to black n all poverty
DmTake a truck and move my people down south with me
[Chorus]
DmTrade my ball and chain in for a ticket
BOn a one way trip into Georgia
CBig smiles, apple pies, my people, and blue skies
DmTomatoes grow where I can pick em'
BOn an open highway through Georgia
CGreen grass, tear stains, Dmshadow dancing in the pouring rain
[Verse 2]
Sitting here looking in the mirror
Damn it's getting a little clearer
If I could paint a perfect picture
Would u dare take it wit ya, take it wit ya, take it wit ya
Picture us whistling while fishing
Picture us dancing while romancing
To a tune that belongs to me and u
My ball and chain we will all be free yea
[Chorus]
We can be dancing, steady romancing
Whistling, while we steady fishing
Yea, yeah, oooh, oooooooh
Oooooooh, yeah
[Chorus]

Lady Longting

Dm B C

[Verse1]

Sitting here thinking

Damn I'm getting a little older

Trying to find some piece of mind

Take the weight of the world off my shoulders

Mmmm got me driving down the highway

Trying to make it through each and every day

Fade to black n all poverty

Take a truck and move my people down south with me

[Chorus]

Trade my ball and chain in for a ticket

On a one way trip into Georgia

Big smiles, apple pies, my people, and blue skies

Tomatoes grow where I can pick em'

On an open highway through Georgia

C Dm

Green grass, tear stains, shadow dancing in the pouring rain

[Verse 2]

Sitting here looking in the mirror

Damn it's getting a little clearer

If I could paint a perfect picture

Would u dare take it wit ya, take it wit ya, take it wit ya

Picture us whistling while fishing

Picture us dancing while romancing

To a tune that belongs to me and u

My ball and chain we will all be free yea

[Chorus]

We can be dancing, steady romancing

Whistling, while we steady fishing

Yea, yeah, oooh, oooooooh

Oooooooh, yeah

[Chorus]
