Nashville - My Idaho Home

my idaho home written and performed by ronee blakley for the film nashville . 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 .
