Lyrics for Farm On The Freeway by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Crest Knave | | Track: | Farm On The Freeway | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire
laid by the father for the son.
Good
shelter down there on the valley floor,
down by where the sweet stream run.
Now they might
give me compensation...
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before
yesterday.
Now, all I have got is a cheque and a pickup truck.
I left my farm on the
freeway.
They're busy building airports on the south side...
Silicon chip factory on
the east.
And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
Hot machine pouring
six lanes at the very least.
Now, they say they gave me compensation...
That's not what
I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Now, all I have left is a broken-down pickup
truck.
Looks like my farm is a freeway.
They forgot they told us what this old land
was for.
Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones.
This was no Southfork, it was no
Ponderosa.
But it was the place that I called home.
They say they gave me
compensation...
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
And what
do I want with a million dollars and a pickup truck?
When I left my farm under the freeway | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
