lyrics

My grand father hung his belt from his bones
he was made from muscle and from blood
His back it was strong, and his work it was his own
his hands made hard from rocks and mud

Take me back take me back
to the place where they layed my family's bones
Take me back take me back
so I can work a little place of my own

My grand father farmed, this land it was his home
he lived by the shovel and the plow
These hills and two strong arms, the only things he ever owned
but he was happy and his country heart was proud

Take me back take me back
to the simple country life I've never known
Take me back take me back
and let me start a little family of my own

I want to feel the sun and wind, I want to taste the earth and soil
leave the offices and freeways far behind
I'll feel the weather on my skin, suffer days of honest
and know simple truths instead of complex lies

Take me back take me back
to the place where they layed my family's bones
Take me back take me back
so I can work a little place of my own
Take me back take me back
to the simple country life I've never known
Take me back take me back
and let me start a little family of my own
