Kevin L. Griffith - This Old Farm

This old farm has had its day
The grazing cattle have gone away
Silent echoes, of the past long gone
But this old farm, it carries on
The old farmhouse has seen better days
The sagging roof is wasting away
Weather-beaten boards and peelin' paint
The back door swings, like a rusty gate
And this old farm has had its day
The grazing cattle have gone away
Silent echoes, of the past long gone
But this old farm, it carries on
The barn, long ago, it once stood true
It was home to cattle, pigs and chickens too
But now it's just a pile of stone
Long forgotten and overgrown
And this old farm has had its day
The grazing cattle have gone away
Those silent echoes of the past are long gone
But this old farm, somehow carries on
An abandoned plow that turns no ground
The springhouse walls have fallen down
A rusted hay rake is covered with weeds
The fields no longer sowed with seeds
This old farm has had its day
Those grazing cattle have gone away
Silent echoes, of the past long gone
But this old farm, always carries on
The old Ford tractor is leakin' oil
After years haulin' hay and constant toil
There's barbed wire growin' out of old trees
A fence was there that now no one sees
And this old farm has had its day
The grazing cattle have gone away
Silent echoes, of the past long gone
But this old farm, it carries on
The back field these days is overgrown
Where years ago a cornfield was growin'
A rusted old pickup sits on blocks
Now it needs a new gearbox
And this old farm has had its day
The grazing cattle have gone away
Those silent echoes of the past are long gone
But this old farm, it carries on
This old farm will carry on
