Rural [Em] Route 2, [C] Box
[G] 554C, the home of [Em] my family's farm, [C] and still home [D] to me.
[G] I swear I want [Em] to raise my kids, but [C] it don't look like [G] I can.
Cause every time [Em] they turn your [C] head, they're breaking new ground [D] again.
[G] Started about [Em] eight years ago with [C] that one house upon [G] the hill.
Forty more in the next six years [C] in Earl Bucker's old [D] cornfield.
[G] The city's [Em] finally moving out and the [C] country's [G] moved away.
There's nothing we [Em] can do about it, [C] I wonder why we even [D] stay.
Or [C] should we cash the [G] farm on in, [C] just move on [G] down the line?
[C] Or tell them all [G] to go to hell, [C] and buy up a [G] little more time?
We [C] all know [G] it's coming, [C] but we don't [G] know when.
[C] We'll have to [G] pack up everything, [C] and [D] take our claim [G] again.

A half a million [Em] dollar home [C] on a quarter acre [D] spread.
[G] They bitch about [Em] the smell of [C] the dairy right [G] next door.
They're gonna push [Em] all the farmers out [C] of that, you can [D] be sure.
Or [C] should we cash the farm [G] on in, and just move on down the line?
