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