Take It All Away
Quelle: Spotify
Well you run your hand through your dusty hair,
And you're not sure what you should do,
when it costs more to come by then they'll pay,
There don't seem to be much use,
She's in the kitchen over the books,
And callin' just to see,
If you can stick it out who needs it now?
We'll wait another week.
And the high-priced boys from Toronto,
They sit over their second cup,
And they'll tell you when to milk those cows,
And when to dry them up,
They'll tell you when to borrow that money,
And they'll tell you when to pay,
When you can't they just come,
and they take it all away.
"And it's a business not a lifestyle,"
That's what the banker says,
But he don't know about a family farm,
It's just numbers in his head,
Three generations of the same name,
Tacked up on the barn,
And there's no use trying to explain,
That lifestyles old and worn.
And the high-priced boys from Toronto,
They sit over their second cup,
And they'll tell you when to milk those cows,
And when to dry them up,
They'll tell you when to borrow that money,
And they'll tell you when to pay,
When you can't they just come,
and they take it all away.
Know you should, you just can't stop,
You can't quit goin' on,
You fix that tractor and you plant those crops,
It's all you've ever known,
They can take your cattle,
They can take your corn,
They can take your life apart,
Take your house,
Tear down your barn,
But they'll never take your heart
And the high-priced boys from Toronto,
They sit over their second cup,
And they'll tell you when to milk those cows,
And when to dry them up,
They'll tell you when to borrow that money,
And they'll tell you when to pay,
When you can't they just come,
and they take it all away.
When you can't they just come,
And they take it all away.---Lyrics submitted by Kevin Connolly.
