Here's a song by Verlon Thompson from his "Everywhere...Yet" CD/album, whatever they call them now. I hope someone can use it.
"He left the road"
by Verlon Thompson from Everywhere...yet
Starts with the chords to Proud Mary.....
Chorus
G D
He was just like you He was just like me
C G
He had his elbow out the window rollin' free.
In the blink of an eye in the shiftin' of a load
in the middle of Proud Mary he left the road.
(1)
He saw the moments of his life pass before his eyes
Every sin he ever sinned and the day he was baptized
He saw his mother and his father beautiful and young
And every girl he'd ever kissed aw, especially that one.
CHORUS
(2)
He saw a long dark tunnel with a beautiful light
He didn't know where he was but he knew it felt right.
He saw the wreck on the highway way down below
He was somewhere between body and soul.
CHORUS...minus the last line ('he left the road').....with slow finger picking
(3)
His momma at the ironing board and his daddy at the mill
They both stopped what they were doing and they both felt a chill.....
again...some slow finger picking and finish
