The third kid grandma had, came into this world

On a rolling farm in Maryland when Wilson was the president

when horses drew their wagons through the fields

And do you sit here on this porch and wonder how the time flies by
   F#m     G#m     A             A     A
or does it seem to barely creep along?
     F#m     E/G#    A       B         (E)

And how they drove the old dirt road to town
