|Verse 1|
DIf the deed was still in my grandpa's hands
GHis farm would be where this Walmart stands
DBut he's as gone as the good old days
G'Fore the whitetail left and the progress came
DTo the front door saying, "Name your price"
GYour neighbors all sold, so we thought you might
DWant to cut the kind of deal that'd change your life
GMan they were right
|Chorus|
DI could blame my family for wanting to sell
ABlame the price of cattle for going to hell
Em DBlame that banker and call him a crook
G ABlame Uncle Sam for the cut he took
DWhen they cut the trees down and dug up my roots
ANow I'm stressed in loafers instead of sweating in boots
Em DThe price per acre can't change the truth
G A D GMy life got rough when my hands got smooth
D G
|Verse 2|
DIt was up with the dawn. It was praying for rain
GAnd if it was sunny, we were making hay
DThe diesel was high, but the smiles were cheap
GLike tailgate beers and a good night's sleep
DNow the daily grind, it never stops
GI got an empty soul and a full inbox
DOrange bottles 'round the bathroom sink
GTo catch a few restless wings
|Chorus|
DI could blame my family for wanting to sell
ABlame the price of cattle for going to hell
Em DBlame that banker and call him a crook
G ABlame Uncle Sam for the cut he took
DWhen they cut the trees down and dug up my roots
ANow I'm stressed in loafers instead of sweating in boots
Em DThe price per acre can't change the truth
G A D GMy life got rough when my hands got smooth
D G
|Bridge|
G D ANow groceries get delivered where they used to get grown
G D AReplaced all of our neighbors with strangers on phones
Bm A D G F#m EmThey keep paving, adding lanes but there ain't no way to make it back home
|Chorus|
DI could blame my family for wanting to sell
ABlame the price of cattle for going to hell
Em DBlame that banker and call him a crook
G ABlame Uncle Sam for the cut he took
DWhen they cut the trees down and dug up my roots
ANow I'm stressed in loafers instead of sweating in boots
Em DThe price per acre can't change the truth
G DMy life got rough when my hands got smooth
