BACK TO THE FARM

Stare’n out the window of this high-rise office
The city below me just ain’t where my heart is
Day after day I’m feel’n more confused
I got people talk’n at me in a mindless chatter
I’m just another rung on a corporate ladder
What I wouldn’t do to get back to my roots
Oh I wanna go where the green grass grows
where the pavement turns into an ole dirt road
Back to the farm
Computers and commuters just ain’t my thing
What I wouldn’t give to be on that ole porch swing
Listen’n to momma sing amazing grace
The smell of fresh cut hay sure is apeal’n
A country solution to the way I’m feel’n
Just pack up my things and I’ll be on my way
Oh I wanna go where the green grass grows
Where the pavement turns into an ole dirt road
Back to the farm
We all have a place somewhere in our mind
A bridge we can cross into another time
When this ole world tries to bring us down
As I’m Drive’n down this stretch of highway
The wind in my hair every sign reminds me
Of who I am and where I wanna be
Oh I wanna go where the green grass grows
Where the pavement turns into an ole dirt road
Back to the farm
