Father's Fields

First in the morning
And I see I left the doors unlocked
In the kitchen there's a loaded gun
And I don't care, I just don't care

Hopped in my Deere
Then I hit the throttle
Looked to the floor another empty bottle
It's getting old, it's getting old

There's something in the air
You can stay if you dare
Take me from my fathers field's
It's time to live again, live again

Working in the middle of the day
Is a southern sin
Can't catch up so why begin
Why begin

Heading to your stones
Can't afford the flowers
Worked so long
Can't count the hours it's true
It's true

There's something in the air
You can stay if you dare
Take me from my fathers field's
It's time to live again, live again

Same old thoughts
And the same old problems everyday
Reminiscing 'bout the money you said
We'd make, we never made

Still remember mama
Crying on my shoulder
Said go and help your daddy
You know he's getting older
Who knew, who knew

There's something in the air
You can stay if you dare
Take me from my fathers field's
It's time to live again, live again

Back to the house
Got the devil walking by side
Look at his face and there's fire in his eyes
In his eyes

Broke inside and I picked up my .45
A bottle of gin
Resting by the fireside
I got a nice surprise
