Farmers And Developers Don't Mix-03 (04/13/2002) By Clark Lynch & Marvin Floyd
VRS 1. Grandpa sacrificed and bought this farm with his last dime.
Back in those days that's how you staked your claim,
He never went to town at night, dined out or drank the wine.
He worked the ground and gave us kids his name.
VRS 2. He cleared this land with his bare hands; he built the house we live in.
These hundred ft tall trees were twigs he planted.
He built this house to last a hundred years and it's still standin,
Developers just take all that for granted.
VRS 3. My Grandpa could outwork any one of us they say.
With single bottom plow upon his Furguson he'd stay,
The fields he plowed to seed the hay to feed the cows each day,
Sunday, he took us to church and he'd kneel down and pray.
CHORUS. Farmers and Developers Don't Mix
They always have their big ideas and tricks,
Once a Farmer leaves his land, he knows that it's for keeps,
And a Farmer in the city never sleeps
(SOLO 4 BARS)
VRS 2-Rep He cleared this land with his bare hands; he built the house we live in.
These hundred ft tall trees were twigs he planted.
He built this home to last a hundred years and it's still standin,
Developers just take all that for granted.
VRS 5. SO! Get back in that fancy car, back out the way you came,
We don't want any offers, swaps or tricks.
We're going to stay right here like Grandpa did when he first came,
Cause; Farmers and Developers Don't Mix.
CHORUS. Farmers and Developers Don't Mix
They always have their big ideas and tricks
Once a Farmer leaves his land he knows that it's for keeps,
And a Farmer in the city, never sleeps.
VRS 3. REP. My Grandpa could outwork any one of us they say.
With single bottom plow upon his Furguson he'd stay,
The fields he plowed to seed the hay to feed the cows each day,
Sunday, he took us to church and he'd kneel down and pray.
End... Get back in that fancy car, back out the way you came,
We don't want any offers, swaps or tricks.
We're going to stay right here like Grandpa did when he first came,
Cause; Farmers and Developers Don't Mix.
NO, Farmers and Developers Don't Mix.
