Lyrics
The Farm 02/19/2014
By The Shoeless Joes (Gulick, Matthiesen) © 2015
(Verse 1)
Your old Farmall Tractor is sitting in the underbrush
Red paint fading from the sun, and time has made it rust
Weeds have filled the tire tracks of the long and dusty drive
And grandma won't be going back to keep her garden alive
(Chorus)
The creek still flows, the grass still grows
Sure, life goes on
But the crickets and the whippoorwills
now sing a sadder song
But This Farm will always be a special place here in my heart
Because Grandpa... you were The Farm
(Verse 2)
You and me drowned lots of worms catching catfish in the pond
Sit out on the cabin porch, talking 'till the sun was gone
Didn't have a working TV, so you'd turn on country songs
You would always make me laugh when you tried to sing along
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You built this piece of paradise... It was a part of building me
When you're looking down from heaven do you still see...that
(Chorus)
