I got a lot in front of me Miles to go Need some daily inspiration to get me in the flow History behind me, future in the front Present where I am, just a bit stuck
Another stretch of road ahead Weather is just fine Driving up mountains, making the impossible climb
Hoping for the back 40 Watching the grass grow Soon sipping whiskey with no place to go Kids in the yard, tossing the ball around Sounds of their laughter will be echoing through the town
Got a destination to reach Trying hard to push through Hearts in the right place Too tired to continue
Listening to old country songs Passing trucks at night Trying to get home to our own beds, the back 40 is just right
Hoping for the back 40 Watching the grass grow Soon sipping whiskey with no place to go Kids in the yard, tossing the ball around Sounds of their laughter will be echoing through the town
Experiences are the one thing One thing to get right Time passes slowly no regrets for us tonight
Taking a wrong turn to help speed to drive Ended up in a ditch, somehow we made it out alive
One day soon will reach the back 40 Well sit on the porch and contemplate our fates Sipping whiskey and smoking a cigar, we will not hesitate
Hoping for the back 40 Watching the grass grow Soon sipping whiskey with no place to go Kids in the yard, tossing the ball around Sounds of their laughter will be echoing through the town
Back on the ranch on the back 40 Cozy in our own beds So warm and peaceful We will take that trip again come the fall But for now, its come one, come all
