Old Farm Truck

An ode to times gone by

You've seen the mountains
And the green fields of home
You've gone many miles
Your tires are worn.

You worked hard every season
A lifetime spent at twenty-five
A heavy load hauled in the back
The wind and weather stole your shine

But every scratch tells us a story
Of how things used to be

Back when we worked
To put food on our tables
Back when we helped a friend
When tractors and working men
Were the heartbeat of this land
Old farm truck, take me back
Take me back there if you can.

You're sitting in the lot now
The farming men are all gone
The fields are lying fallow
And only time continues on

But every scratch tells us a story
Of how things used to be

Back when we worked
To put food on our tables
Back when we helped a friend
When tractors and working men
Were the heartbeat of this land
Old farm truck, take me back
Take me back there if you can.

Old farm truck, take me back
Take me back there, if you can.
