All The Way

I was born in troubled times I speak the language of this land

listen close to understand listen close to understand

I have made it through the floods I have made it through the droughts

this has always been my home this will always be my home

B A

If you need a helping hand send your word, I'm on my way If you need a helping hand I will help you all the way

E A B7

I was born in troubled times but they were not meant to stay I was born in to this love and I will always be that way If you seen what I have seen It wouldn't seem so bittersweet

B A

These dusty roads, they aint so bad These dusty roads, they aint so bad
