Story Behind The Song

I lived this!!

Song Description

Humorous song about growing up on a farm

Lyrics

Farm Life

Well the newspaper reads
people's gettin' out of the city
and I heard on tv
crimes gettin' out of control

Well, but I've been gettin' up
when the rooster crows
there's been fields to disk
and gardens to hoe
and as far as I can see
Man, this farm life
Oh, This farm life
just ain't for me

Well now my buddy Phil
his daddy owns
the local hardware store
and for his sixteenth
he got a brand new Corvette
who could ask for anything more

oh, he drove it up to school come Monday
waxed and shined with the engine all souped up
But he hid his head, and all of my friends fled,
when I showed up in my coughin, smokin' pickup truck
Oh, this farm life
Man, this farm life
just ain't for me

*Chorus
But come Saturday night
well we do it up right
we hit the town
where that bass is thumpin' low
Me and the boys we play
and when were rockin' that stage
oh, the crowd just keeps a'screamin
More, More, More
And it gives me hope that maybe there could be
Somethin' better
waitin' for me
Maybe in the city
Cause this farm life
just ain't for me

Well the neighbors they drive
around in their tractors so big and tall
they got the finest of things
air conditionin' cabs
Man, they got it all
But dad just explains about the river of debt
and how you can't haul no grain
with a corvette
(and without) a fancy cab your shoulders may burn
but be thankful for a tractor with wheels that turn
Oh, this farm life
Man, this farm life
just ain't for me

*Chorus
Tag:
oh no this farm
Man this farm Li---ife
just ain't for me
