(Verse)
His cows get loose and run right through the fast food parkin lot
And Daddy gets calls from the mini-malls when their downwind from his
hogs
When his tractor backs up traffic the reception ain't too warm
The citys growin around him
but Daddy won't sell the farm
You cain't roll a rock
up a hill that steep
you can't pull roots when they deep
He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
Daddy won't sell the farm
(Verse)
He worked and slaved in 68' he bought these fields and trees
He raised his corn in a big red barn and a healthly family
He learned to love the woodland
He can't stand to do em harm
Concrete all around him Daddy won't sell the farm
(Chorus)
One day hes gonna leave it all to me
And I'll start my own branch of the family tree
They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn
Daddy won't sell the farm
(Chorus)
Were gonna live and die
in the eye of the urban storm
Daddy won't sell the farm
Oh you knew a country boy can survive
