G This ain't no song about the good old days C D G Simpler times or easy ways Or how I long for an old dirt road C D G Greener grass or a lighter load G C I was glad to see the blacktop G When they laid it down in '65 Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop C D G No more dust in my eyesVerso 1:
G Rain would fall and the mud would rise C D G Through my toes in the summer time August heat would dry that clay C D G Dust went flying like a dandelion G C I was glad to see the blacktop G When they laid it down in '65 Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop C D G No more dust in my eyesVerso 2:
G Stubbed my toes on rocks and stones C D G Slipped and fell in old potholes Watched my mama shake that line C D G Dust them clothes off hanging in the hot sunshine G C I was glad to see the blacktop G When they laid it down in '65 Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop C D G No more dust in my eyesVerso 3:
