[Verse]
D
I am the one, who stayed behind
G D
While the others were going away
A G
To the mills of Chicago, to the plants of Detroit
C A
For the promise of a five-dollar day
D
They would come by in December, while the folks were alive
G F#m
With gifts from the money they'd made
G D G
And they'd talk of the nights, 'neath the bright city lights
D A D
And wonder how I ever stayed (And I'd tell them)
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning
G D A
You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street
G D G
Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
D A G
While life goes on, and on
D A D
While life goes on, and on
[Verse 2]
D
I took a train out of Corbin, and headed up North,
G D
to visit a brother of mine
A G
Said he'd talk to his foreman, for to get me a job
C A
Working midnight's assembly line
D
And I was there with my brother, making factory pay
G F#m
But lord, my soul was alone
G D G
It was four in the morning, I shut down my machine
D A D
And I told them, "I'm going home.
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning
G D A
You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street
G D G
Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
D A G
While life goes on, and on and on
D A D
While life goes on, and on
G D G
Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker
D A G
While life goes on, and on and on
D A D
While life goes on, and on
D A D
While life goes on, and on
