Less

They say that farming’s in the blood
They glorify the boots and mud
I know it isn’t in the land
It’s in the callous of your hand

I punch a clock now in the field
Full of pavement and windshields
We used to own

We sold out in ‘94
They said we could have gotten more
But we sold for less

Now I’m selling it all for less

There’s less open space
Less local taste
Less clean air
Less deer, less bear
There’s just less, just less

Now I’m selling ut all for less

My hands are full of cash
When the lines are moving fast
So, I pin on my happy face
Let my mind drift back to that place
We used to love

But where we used to stack the hay
A greeter stops shoppers to say
Welcome home.

Now I’m selling it all for Less

They say that farming’s in the blood
They glorify the boots and mud
