Back To The Farm

 


Heroin heroes

Fearless in the fire

Robbers on the rooftops

Howling for the choir

All out of ammunition

With witches at the gate

If I make the country

Have to really celebrate

 

Get myself back down to the farm

Where my sweet love she soon will

Heal all wounds

And shield me from harm

 

Paradise people

Swinging at the bell

The hunters of the rich life

Are closing for the kill

Hiding in the shadows

Of places they have been

Where the living were the losers

And the loser never wins

 

Got to get ‘em back down to the farm

The simple life it just might

Do a whole lot of good

And it can’t do no harm

 

Cocaine disciples

Christians to the ring

Neon arenas

Sirens in the wings

Roll Ulysses

Learn it from the fox

Got to make the country

Or lose it on the rocks

 

Get yourself back down to the farm

This livin’ on the road it just don’t

Make no sense

When it’s home you hunger for

 

Got to get you back down to the farm

The simple life it just might

Do a whole lot of good

And it can’t do no harm

 

Get myself back down to the farm

Where my sweet love she will soon

Heal all wounds

And shield me from harm

 

Got get home
