[Verse]
DOnce upon a Groad  when I was innocent and Dfree
And the back roads of BmAmerica  Gwere like a toyland to Dme
It surely was the promised Gland  and we had ourselves to Dplease
Oh how the milk and honey Bmflowed  Gthat was once upon a Droad
Once upon a Groad  we could live off of the Dland
Watermelons on the Bmvine  Gchicken cookin' in a pDan
Water clean and water Gfree  you could sleep beneath a Dtree
Love and freedom was our Bmcode  Gthat was once upon a Droad
Once upon a Groad  really was a crazy Dtime
When we thought we could move Bmmountains  Gso we moved them in our Dminds
Blood and sweat and bitter Gtears  took the days and took the Dyears
We have little left to Bmshow  Gfor being once upon a Droad
Once upon a Groad  we were young and we were Dfair
Changed the face of all BmAmerica Gbut never in a barber Dchair
We were fighting for a Gdream  we tried to buck that money Dscheme
There ain't nothing that we Bmknow  Gfor being once upon a Droad
We have little left to Bmshow  Gfor being once upon a Droad
We have little left to Bmshow  Gfor being once upon a Droad

Oh how the milk and honey flowed that was once upon a road

Once upon a road we could live off of the land

Watermelons on the vine chicken cookin' in a pan

Water clean and water free you could sleep beneath a tree

Love and freedom was our code that was once upon a road

Once upon a road really was a crazy time

When we thought we could move mountains so we moved them in our minds

We have little left to show for being once upon a road

Once upon a road we were young and we were fair
