TPS607 "Lanny's Farm", plugged-in

For David.... It may have taken twenty years for this electric version, but better late than never. Thanks a million to Mike Tribble. A very special thanks to Terry




Lanny's Farm

East Texas dirt is red
and it's hard
and there doesn't seem to be an end
down on Lanny's farm.
It's a damned hard row to hoe
down on Lanny's farm.

East Texas sunsets bleed
like your hands
like the broken hearts that wait back home
years from Lanny's farm.
Only dreams will let you go
down on Lanny's farm.

In fields of cane and cotton
your heart cries for a rose
but you can't find one.
And you feel all but forgotten
sweating in the sun
in the heat where no wind blows
when you remember one
down on Lanny's farm.

East Texas specials run
and they're full
and they empty at the line's dead-end
down on Lanny's farm.
All your baggage is your soul
down on Lanny's Farm

East Texas dirt is red
like your eyes
like the embers of a dying fire
down on Lanny's farm
Will a spark live when you go?
down on Lanny's farm

In fields of cane and cotton
your heart cries for a rose
but you can't find one.
And you feel all but forgotten
sweating in the sun
in the heat where no wind blows
down on Lanny's farm.
