Lyrics

Late summer day and my love and I
went walkin'
Over hills and fields we walked, laughin'
and talkin'.
Came across an old farmhouse standin'
broken and bare
It used to be someone's home now
no one lives there.

There's a red barn standing held
together with nails and dust
And a tired old Massey Harris all wires and rust.
Weeds overgrown in a garden sown with care
It used to be someone's home now no one lives there.

Through the crack in the window pane
I hear the sound of the fallin' rain
Another farm bein' left run down,
Another fam'ly moved into town.

Had a life that they tried to save,
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on the torn screen door,
"Nobody lives here no more."

They worked their fingers to the bone,
Nothin' left they can call their own
Packed it in under leaden skies
With just the wheat wavin' them goodbye.

Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on the torn screen door,
"Nobody lives here no more."
