Rural route 2 box five five four c home of my family farm it's still home to me
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Its where I wanna raise my kids but it don't look like I can
G Em7 Cadd9 D
Cause every time you turn your head their breakin new ground again
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Started bout eight years ago with that one house up on a hill
Em7 Cadd9 D
Forty more the next six years in Erbocker's old corn field
G Em7 Cadd9 G
City finally moved em out and the country's moved away
Em7 Cadd9 D
Nothing we can do about it I wonder should even stay
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Or should we cash the farm on in and just move on down the line
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Stand our ground and fight till the end try ta buy us a little more time
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
We all know its comin but we don't know when

Half a million dollar home on a quarter acre spread
