More chords by Chris Knight

Capo 5
Am
Load up the old Dodge truck
Fmaj7
We’ll leave what we can’t sell
Am
Nobody needs a sharecropper’s tools
Fmaj7
or a dust filled well
Am
Take you one last look around
Fmaj7
shed you one last tear
Am
For the broken plow, the broken dreams
Fmaj7 Am
And the life we’re leaving here

Pull the lines down tight

The kids can ride on top of the load

In the cool of the night

They can crawl underneath the tarp

To stay out of the cold

Eleven hundred miles of mountain and sand

We’ll cross ‘em tired and torn

If this beat up truck can carry us

Far enough away from the storm
Chorus:
F C
We’re going to California
G
There’s work there for a man
F C
Too proud to beg for charity
G F
Too poor to make a stand
G
Pray it’s just the land we’re losing
C F
Not my life’s blood that I leave
Am
On the handles of that broken plow

That haunts me in my dreams

A man at a roadside station

Don’t like dealing with my kind

He’d beat me out of my last dollar

And never look me in the eye
