Houses In The Fields

Houses In The Fields - Ad Vanderveen

They're growing houses in the fields

Between the towns

Starlight drive in movie's closing down

The road is gone

To the way it was before

And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

Two more farms were broken by the drought

First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out

Developers paid better than the corn

But this was not the place

Where they were born

There's houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

Houses in the fields

The last few farms are growing out of here

At first he wouldn't sell and then he would

Now they will be children playing

Where the silo stood

The word came from the marrow of his bones

It was the last sure way

To pay off all the loans

The new streets will be named

For kings and queens

And a ransom will be payed

For every castle's dream

The model sign is crested with a lion

And the farmers they will have enough to die on

There's houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

Houses in the fields

The last few farms are growing out of here

I guess no one should be afraid of change

But tell me why is there a fence

For every open range

It's a sign I'm getting on in years

When nothing new is welcome

To these eyes and ears

There's houses in the fields

No prayers for steady rain this year

Houses in the fields

Houses in the fields

The last few farms are growing out of here

They're growing houses in the fields

Between the towns

And the Starlight drive in movie's closing down

The road is gone to the way it was before

The spaces won't be spaces anymore

No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
