They Won'T Have Me |
They won’t have me, but I love this place. |
The rural life is broken, the farmlands gone to chaff. |
My hands are idle, my mind needs rest, |
the toil of the decent and the sleep of the best. |
I sit in diners with the old men, |
they talk of work cause it’s all they ever did. |
They gave their hearts to Jesus and got serious |
They gave up their drinking and worked for this nothing. |
All this love to offer, all this love to waste. |
All this love to offer, all this love to waste. |
There’s a lame dog on the highway |
where the old road used to be. |
Now you know what divides us Is just a difference someone made. |
Some got tired of trying, some were just too scared to stay. |
We gave ourselves to nothing and we let 'em have their day. |
Now who’s gonna do the planting? |
Who’s gonna pray for rain? |
Who’s gonna keep the farmland |
from the sub-division man? |
All this love to offer, all this love to waste. |
