Provide its own food to its own people is a real trouble.
And large commercial farming is putting a small town farmer out of business.
And a lot of these farms are getting split up and
sold because the kids or grandkids that inherit them don't want them and
don't want to work.
And [B] so they turn them into a dollar store or a farm lot.
And it's really sad.
[D] This song outlines that happening.
And [Eb] the first time I heard it, I knew we had to record [Dm] it because [N]
it's
almost the exact [Bb] story of what went down to happen to my grandpa's [Gm] farm.
Had [A] nothing changed.
Thank the Lord it didn't.
I live on it now.
It's a [N] 26 acre farm and that's what it will always be as long as I have it.
A little [Gb] bit eerie to sing this one.
Like I said, [A] it's on our new album over there.
And it had some charting action, got up to [Am] the top ten on the [B] Bluegrass
today chart I think it was.
And right now our album stands as the [D] number two album in the [A] nation.
On the Bluegrass.
[F] And it's in the two months in a row.
We got [G] a single right now at number three.
So hopefully it'll keep climbing to get up there to number one.
We'll see.
But [D] if there's any song today that we do [G] that you listen to the lyrics on and
pay attention, [G] please make sure it's this one because it tells a story that
[Bm] surely take you back.
Always.
No roses working back home.
[D]
Same way my grandpa.
[G] His daddy [D] tells me.
Three generations of dreams [D] turned to dust.
Watered with years [A] and told to dust.
So. [Bm] We can't.
[G]
[D] Always.
[Dm]
The way life.
