Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire
C         Asus4              Em  C
laid by the father for the son.
Em                   C                 Em     C Em C
Good shelter down there on the valley floor,
C             Asus4             Em   C Em
down by where the sweet stream run.

Now  they might give me compensation...

That's not what I'm chasing.

I was a rich man before yesterday.

Now all I have got is a cheque and a pickup truck.
C           Asus4         Em    C Em C
I left my farm on the freeway.
Em             C                  Em             C   Em
They're busy building airports on the south side...
C                Asus4           Em C
Silicon chip factory on the east.

And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
C            Asus4                    Em          C Em
Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least.

 Now all I have left is a broken-down pickup truck.

 Looks like my farm is a freeway.

They forgot they told us what this old land was for.
C                     Asus4                    Em C
Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones.

This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa.

 But it was the place that I called home.
