Down On Grampa's Farm - Glenn Colton

Come here ladies and gentleman Listen to my song Play it to you right But you may think it wrong May make you mad But I mean no harm It's just about the renters On Penny's farm It's a hard time in the country Down on Penny's farm Go into the fields And you work all day Deep into the night But you get no pay Promise you some meat Or a little bucket of lard It's hard to make a living On Penny's farm It's a hard time in the country Down on Penny's farm Hear George Penny He'll be coming into town With a wagon load of peaches Not a one of them sound Gotta get his money Gotta get a check Pay you for a bushel But you never get a peck It's a hard time in the country Down on Penny's farm George Penny's renters They be coming into town With their hands in their pockets And their heads hanging down Go to the merchant And the merchant he'll say, Your mortgage it is due And I'm looking for my pay It's a hard time in the country Down on Penny's farm Deep into his pocket With a trembling hand, Can't pay you what I owe But i'll pay you what I can Down to the merchant And the merchant make a call Put you on the chain gang Don't pay at all It's a hard time in the country Down on Penny's farm

Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks Got old Hank cranking way up loud Got coolers in the back, tailgates down There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm Ed's been on the tractor, ain't seen Becky all week Somebody said they seen 'em heading down to the creek Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep Man he knows how to grow 'em if ya know what I mean Old Dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits Ain't no closing time, ain't no cover charge Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm Well, you can come as you are, there ain't no dress code Just some rural route rules that you need to know Don't mess with the bull, he can get real mean Don't forget to shut the gate, stay out of the beans If it starts to rainin' will just head to the barn We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits Ain't no closing time, ain't no cover charge Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm Ain't no closing time, ain't no cover charge Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm Oh, let's get down, y'all Stay out of that hay

When I can't find the words to say how much it hurts You are the healing in my heart When all that I can see are broken memories You are the light that's in the dark You are the song, you are the song I'm singing You are the air, you are the air I breathe in You are the hope, you are the hope I'm needing Woah, You are And when my circumstance leaves me with empty hands You're the provider of my needs When all my dirtiness has left me helpless You are the rain that washes me You are the song, you are the song I'm singing You are the air, you are the air I breathe in You are the hope, you are the hope I'm needing Woah, You are You are the song, you are the song I'm singing You are the air, you are the air I breathe in You are the hope, you are the hope I'm needing Woah If I had no voice If I had no tongue I would dance for you like the rising sun And when that day comes and I see your face I will shout your endless glorious praise If I had no voice If I had no tongue I would dance for you like the rising sun And when that day comes and I see your face I will shout your endless glorious praise You are the song, you are the song I'm singing You are the air, you are the air I breathe in You are the hope, you are the hope I'm needing Woah, You are You are the song, you are the song I'm singing You are the air, you are the air I breathe in You are the hope, you are the hope I'm needing I'm singing woah

When I'm out of hope, so lost and afraid When I'm in the dark and can't seem to find my way When I'm feelin' lonely in the dead of the night I remember the promise You will be my, my, my, my light My light You will be my, my, my, my light My light You will be my, my, my, my - My light where the sun don't shine Tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah I've tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all You're the answer for every problem You're the grace when I hit the bottom The lamp unto my feet, oh Lord, let it shine (shine, oh) You will be my, my, my, my light (my, my, my light) My light You will be my, my, my, my light (my, my, my light) My light You will be my, my, my, my - My light where the sun don't shine Tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah You're the way when my feet can't find it You're the truth when my head is lyin' You're the life when my heart is dyin' You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah You're the way when my feet can't find it You're the truth when my head is lyin' You're the life when my heart is dyin' You will be my, my, my, my light, oh, yeah (my, my, my light) My light You will be my, my, my, my light, my light (my, my, my light) My light You will be my, my, my, my - My light when the sun don't shine (oh-oh) Tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright (gonna be, gonna be alright) You will be my light, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's all hitting the same No words lost in the waves Man I'm out of here Come home with ringing ears Sat down the first time in years Who are you Won it too and you don't have half the first clue What we've been doing up 'til Right about now Waves look the same The same hand dealt different days Thanks for coming through First time with you Thanks to the last time I get it now it's just fine And laid to rest Gold's in your chest Put down the fiddle man that's Rome in the smoke Show me what's real about it Show me where to go Sit by the cradle overseas it can wait Bought the whole future and Sold my estate

Shoreline moved Cliffs rose up and they reached up to you Oh deeper blue Lighter now that the sun came through Out on the rise Sat on the bluffs and wondered up at the sky Over the side Dropped down in and the walls looked white Could it feel the same The flash and shine and the lights on the bay Would you hold and stay Longer and brought their take on the day Older now Look what the fullness of day brought about Oh lifted out Wonderin' and waited and it's rounded out now Love the first part counts White light then and the orange is holding you now Out from town Rolled off and over and released the way down Don't know now What's no reason to stops no reason to doubt
