chords transcribed by prrulz .

A#
momma and Daddy raised me with love and care
F
they sacrificed , so i could have a better share
A#
they fed me and nursed me and sent me to school
F A#
momma taught me how to sing , Daddy lived the golden rules

D# A#
when i think of the people alone and afraid
D# A#
abandoned in wild like a fatherless child
A#
i think of my momma and how she could sing
F A#
in harmony with my Daddy , our laughter would ring .

( chorus )
D# F
down the highway , on the beaches
A# D#
just as far as memory reaches
A# F
i still hear Daddy singin’ his old army songs
F A#
we’d laugh and count horses as we rode along .
F A#
we were young then , we were together
F A#
we could bear floods and fire and bad weather
A#
and now that i’m older , grown up on my own
F A#
i still love momma and Daddy best in my idaho home .

A#
momma grew up on the prairies of kansas
F
she was tender and sweet .
A#
the dust and tornadoes blew round her
F A#
but they left her straight up on her feet .
A#
my Daddy grew up on his own , more or less
F
his momma died when he was just eleven .

he had seven sisters to raise him .
A#
but he dreamed of his momma in heaven .

D# A#
his Daddy drank whiskey and had a sharp eye .
D# A#
he sold chicken medicine farmers would buy .
A#
together they hunted the fields and the farms
F A#
when his Daddy died , my Daddy rested in my momma’s arms .

( chorus )
D# F
down the highway , on the beaches
A# D#
just as far as memory reaches
A# F
i still hear Daddy singin’ his old army songs
F A#
we’d laugh and count horses as we rode along .
F A#
we were young then , we were together
F A#
we could bear floods and fire and bad weather
A#
and now that i’m older , grown up on my own
F A#
i still love momma and Daddy best in my idaho home .
A#
and now that i’m older , grown up on my own
F A#
i still love my mom and Daddy best in my idaho home .
