Daddy Won't Sell The Farm
[Intro]
D Cadd9 G/B D D Cadd9 G/B D
[Verse 1]
D
His cows get loose and run right through
Cadd9 G
The fast food parkin' lots
D
And Daddy gets calls from the mini-malls
Cadd9 G
When they're downwind from his hogs
Cadd9
When his tractor backs up traffic
G
The reception ain't too warm
D
The city's growin around him
G
But Daddy won't sell the farm
[Chorus]
D
You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
Cadd9 G
You can't pull roots when they run that deep
D Cadd9
He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G D D Cadd9 G/B D
Daddy won't sell the farm
[Verse 2]
D
He worked and slaved in '68
Cadd9 G
And bought these fields and trees
D
He raised his corn in a big red barn
Cadd9 G
And a healthly family
Cadd9
He learned to love the woodlands
G
He can't stand to do em harm
D
There's concrete all around him
G
But Daddy won't sell the farm
[Chorus]
D
You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
Cadd9 G
You can't pull roots when they run that deep
D Cadd9
He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G D Cadd9
Daddy won't sell the farm
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
One day he's gonna leave it all to me
D
And I'll start my own branch of the family tree
Cadd9 G A
They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn
D
Daddy won't sell the farm
[Break]
D Cadd9 G/B D D Cadd9 G/B D
[Chorus]
D
You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
Cadd9 G
You can't pull roots when they run that deep
D Cadd9
He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm

Daddy won't sell the farm
