Up on the Farm from Pine

[Pine]

I have no doubt there are millions of folks in the world who would be bored to tears with my lifestyle.
That's O.K. Personally, i love it, even moreso now that i am retired from FT employment and need never leave home unless i want to...and i rarely do..unless i need to make a beer run  

"Three chords and the truth"...that about sums up this one.

Up on the Farm
w/m by pine
Taylor acoustic
Deering 5 string banjo
Squire jazz bass

Once upon a time i lived in the city..nights were wild and the girls were pretty...made alot of money in a damn short time..but never got used to waitin' in a line

Ch: Up on the Farm, Up on the Farm, most of my friends live in the barn
Do some thinkin', do a little drinkin', set on the porch and do alot a pickin'

Instrumental break

Well it took about an hour to drive across town..smile at a stranger and they look down..sports in a dome everybody's on the phone...nice place to visit, but i'm a goin' home

Chorus

Bridge: Got a few chickens lay big brown eggs..newborn goats on wobbly legs...cats in the barn, sleepin' in the hay..life is good a livin' this way

Instrumental break

Bridge

Well livin' in the country it works for me...do what ya want and be who ya be..The dye is cast and the seeds been sown..Life is Good when ya grow yer own...

Chorus

[Farrell Jackson]

Your words make me envious my friend! Especially that part about growin' your own, lol! The music and melody supports your words well Pine and I loved that banjo bit!

It was easy to envision your avatar singing this. Much like the rodent, I have been drinking this evening. Great lyrics and a nice acoustic tone.

Fun post. Any song with a banjo is okay in my book. I just don't want to hear any on my kayak camping trip this weekend.

Yes Pine, just love this , what a great life, and a great song well written well sung and performed. Take a bow my friend.....Alex

Your living my dream brother, without the farm I guess. That sounds a bit like work even if your retired. I've felt pulled to the mountains for 20 years, log cabin, beautiful land, no one around...great song brother!
Farm On!

I for one am glad you are on the porch doing a little pickin, I like you love that country life so I can relate to all the lyrics

P.S love that banjo

[bruno]

Wow that was amazing. Loved the lyrics. Great tune and production. Not sure that I could cope being so isolated, in fact in the UK, you can typically walk to a population centre within a hour or so. Sounds like you are loving life. Great stuff. The banjo was an awesome touch :-)
