"The Farm" lyrics

It's been a long day driving
It's been a hard couple years
And I left, I left myself blinded
From all of the tears

Now the halt comes grinding
And it's mashed up all the gears
And I see, I see myself siding
With my cynical fears

So we could keep on trying
Or we could sell the farm
Just buy me out
Buy me out

We want to see you smiling
Said my mother on the hill
But the distance keeps widening
Between what I let myself say
And what I feel

And my sister said, "It's alright
You can stay with me
If you need a place to calm down
Till you get back on your feet"

So we can give up trying
And you can keep the farm
Just buy me out
Buy me out

Oh-whoa, I'm out of your way
Oh-whoa, and part of me stays
Oh-whoa, I got off my train
Oh-whoa, and everything's strange from the outside
