I'd Rather Live By The Side Of The Road
Recorded by Mac Wiseman (1926 - 2019)
Written by Albert E. Brumley Sr.

G
There are people who would rather live in splendor
    C
And brag about their silver and their gold
    G
And people who would trade God's promise
       A7       D7
For its glory to hold

          G
There are people who would rather live in mansions
          C
There are people who would rather live abroad
       G
But I'd rather have a little log cabin
       D7          G
By the side of the road


I'd rather live by the side of the road
                C
And try to point souls to the blest abode
             G
Than to be a king or a millionaire
            A7                D7
And live in mansions in bright array

          G
I'd rather do a neighborly deed
               C
For a traveler here or a friend in need
          G
I'd rather live by the side of the road
                      D7          G
And help some pilgrim along life's way

I'd rather have a cabin by the roadside
          C
Where the pilgrimage of man is passing by
   G
To help to point soul to Jesus
         A7      D7
And that city on high

      G
Everyday I want to help to scatter roses
      C
Every night I want my lamp to shine abroad
       G
With a welcome from my little bay window
       D7          G
By the side of the road

Repeat #3,4
