Ian Foster - Gone With the Good Earth - Live

While on tour in the summer of 2009 in Nova Scotia, Ian stopped by musician/engineer/East Coast Countdown creator Jimmie Inch's studio just outside of Cole Harbour to record a number of live videos features acoustic songs from all four of his studio releases.

"Gone With the Good Earth" is featured on his 2009 "We Begin Here" release.

Lyrics:

My father got more from these fields than I could
Before the chemicals wore them away
Now I lay on my back in the morning
Dream about working those fields for a day

We own land near the Manitoba border
The roads stretch under open sky
Where the land has given us its riches
I never thought they would ever run dry

Ah babe
I used to know what it was worth
Now it all seems tove washed away
Gone with the good earth

I married the prettiest flower
Born of the waltz of the sun and the rain
For years we lived under heaven
Giving our love while it gave us the same

But the law of God is the law of change
I only wish He had heard my prayer
I am a simple man who doesnt want anything
Except to keep what is already here

Chorus

The man on television tells me no secrets
We walk blindly into the night
My fathers land that I sold to the taxman
Reminds me of what we should have done right
