LYRICS
Late summer day and myLove and I went walkingOver hills and fieldswe walked, laughing and talking
Came across an old farmhouseStanding broken and bareIt used to be someone’s homeNow no one lives there.
There’s a red barn standingHeld together with nails and dustAnd a tired old Massey HarrisAll wires and rust
Weeds overgrown in a gardensown with careIt used to be someone’s homeNow no one lives there
And through the crackIn the window paneI hear the soundOf the falling rainAnother farm being left run downAnother family moved into town
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all awayHung a sign on a torn screen doorNobody lives here no more
But the banks took it all awayHung a sign on a torn screen doorNobody lives here no more
They worked their fingersTo the boneNothing leftThey can call their own
Packed it in under leaden skiesWith just the wheatWaving them goodbye
Had a life that they tried to saveBut the banks took it all awayHung a sign on a torn screen doorNobody lives here no more
