|
Turned off the tv |
|
Sat down to dinner |
|
Phone rang, we were saying grace |
|
Grand ma died |
|
Left us sixty acres |
|
The last of the old home place |
|
Sixty acres up on the cap rock |
|
What am I supposed to do with that |
|
Uncle Claude got a eight wheeled tractor |
|
Plow it under in nothing flat |
|
We could plant some maize |
|
We could plant some cotton |
|
We could plant some oats just to see if they'd grow |
|
But I don't like farming |
|
Don't like the hours |
|
Don't like a life that goes so slow |
|
(chorus) |
|
Glory glory |
|
Hallelujah |
|
Right back atcha |
|
Hope that'll do ya |
|
Don't look at me like theres something I shouldn't a'said |
|
Just cause that old bird's dead |
|
Now cousin Clifford |
|
He got the good land |
|
Right on the highway out by Air Base road |
|
Looks like a Wal-Mart waiting to happen |
|
I mean to tell you it's a pot of gold |
|
It's in the city limits, zoned commercial |
|
Got city water and a sewer line |
|
What with the base expanding from consolidation |
|
It's worth a fortune and it oughta been mine |
|
(chorus) |
|
Glory glory |
|
Hallelujah |
|
Right back atcha |
|
Don't she look natural? |
|
Don't look at me like there's |
|
Something growing outa my head |
|
Just cause that old bird's dead |
