"Save The Farm" lyrics

"Save The Farm"

I been ridin' this horse, for three or four days
Kickin' dust across these pines
And me and my boys have been camped all night
Sittin', waitin' on this train
Six shooters in the air, no life ain't fair
To a good ol' boy like me
And it ain't no high life, but man this is my life
And it's about to change

The bank done called, and Mama's goin' down
And Daddy's gettin' off of the plow
So I'm takin' back these reigns
I wish that I could say that I'm a better man
But Lord I hope you understand
I had to do things this the way
Six shooter smokin' like cigars
Just to save the farm

The bank door swung wide open
And I pressed my gun clean against his head
I said put the money in that burlap sack
And nobody's gotta end up dead
No it ain't been a high life, but man this is my life
And it's about to change

The bank done called, and Mama's goin' down
And Daddy's gettin' off of the plow
So I'm takin' back these reigns
I wish that I could say that I'm a better man
And Lord I hope you understand
I had to do things this the way
Six shooter smokin' like cigars
Just to save the farm

They're on my trail, right on my tail
Nobody's left but me
All the boys done folded back, from a law man rifle blast
Back in Tennessee
Six shooters in the air, no life ain't fair
To a good ol' boy like me
I know it ain't been a high life, but man this was my life
And now the devil's callin' my name

The bank done called, and Mama's goin' down
And Daddy's gettin' off of the plow
So I'm takin' back these reigns, come on
I wish that I could say that I'm a better man
And Lord I hope you understand
I had to do things that way
Lyin' there with a bullet in my heart
But I saved the farm

Oh saved the farm
Ooh yeah
