D Helping the kids out of their coats D G D But wait the babies haven't been born D Unpacking the bags and setting up D G D And planting lilacs and buttercups Em But in the meantime I've got it hard Em A D Second floor living without a yard Em It may be years until the day Em A D My dreams will match up with my pay Em A G Old dirt road Em A G Knee deep snow Em A G Watching the fire as we grow Em A G Old D I got a man to stick it out D G D And make a home from a rented house D And we'll collect the moments one by one D G D I guess that's how the future's done Em How many acres how much light Em A D Tucked in the woods and out of sight Em Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap Em A D On a little road barely on the map Em A G Old dirt road Em A G Knee deep snow Em A G Watching the fire as we grow Em A G Old Em A G Old dirt road Em A G Rambling rose Em A G Watching the fire as we grow Em A G well I'm sold
