Next To The Soil

G   D

             D
I want to be free   with the whippoorwills  callin'
             Em                        D
I want to go back  'fore my conscience spoils
D
'Fore I lose my faith   in my next door neighbor
               Em                      D
Just let me go home   live next to the soil

              G                      D
The city's no place   for an old cow-puncher
                  Em                       D
Just spendin' his dough   and breakin' his back
                   G                     D
When the work gets through   no money no nothin'
                 Em                     D
There never will be   livin' out of the sack

G   D   Em   D   G   Em   D

             D
The roosters crow   and a new day's dawnin'
               Em                      D
It's bacon and eggs   hot biscuits and all
D
Who could ask for more   it's free for takin'
              Em                       D
God's gift to man   livin' next to the soil

                  G                        D
From the hills  I came   that's where I'll go to
              Em                         D
But while I'm here   give me strength to toil
             G             D
I want to go back   to Oklahoma
          Em                         D      A   D       A   D
I'm happy there   livin' next to the soil

                  G                        D
From the hills  I came   that's where I'll go to
              Em                         D
But while I'm here   give me strength to toil
             G             D
I want to go back   to Oklahoma
          Em                         D
I'm happy there   livin' next to the soil
