[Verse 1]
G D
Five miles east of town you’ll find
Em C
The entrance to the limestone mine
G D Em
Brought my family here so long ago
G D
Grandad helped to clear the trees
Em C
Bring the land down to it’s knees
G D G
Helped to build this old quarry road
[Chorus]
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
C D Em
Driving down this old quarry road
G D Em C
There’s a part of me that goes into each and every load
G D G
I’m driving down this old quarry road
[Verse 2]
G D
Daddy was a quarry man
Em C
I remember hard and caloused hands
G D Em
I remember all the stories that he told
G D
Of men who died a sudden death
Em C
Of men who slowly lost their breath
G D G
Driving down this old quarry road
[Chorus]
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
C D Em
Driving down this old quarry road
G D Em C
There’s a part of me that goes into each and every load
G D G
I’m driving down this old quarry road
[Verse 3]
G D
Now Fridays at three o clock
Em C
Tho’ the whistle blows and the work all stops
G D Em
Word goes out there’s fire in the hole
G D
Day turns to night, rocks fill the sky
Em C
And the crusher grinds them down to size
G D G
And I’d haul them down this old quarry road
[Chorus]
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
C D Em
Driving down this old quarry road
G D Em C
There’s a part of me that goes into each and every load
G D G
I’m driving down this old quarry road
[Verse 4]
G D
They say 500 years of stone
Em C
Lie beneath this tortured ground
G D Em
They’ll be diggin’ long after I go
G D
My children’s children if they choose
Em C
They can follow in their father’s shoes
G D G
And drive on down this old quarry road
[Chorus]
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
C D Em
Driving down this old quarry road
G D Em C
There’s a part of me that goes into each and every load
G D G
I’m driving down this old quarry road
G D Em
And I’m driving down this old quarry road
C D Em
Driving down this old quarry road
G D Em C
There’s a part of me that goes into each and every load
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
G D Em
I’m driving down this old quarry road
G D G
I’m driving down this old quarry road
