lyrics

There’s an old two lane highway windin’ through the hills
Northbound to a tiny town where it reaches an old mill
Down a dirt road I make my turn, I got here on my own
Rhubarb & strawberries, that garden sure has grown

Grandpa’s on the tractor Grandma’s washin’ clothes
An honest life is how they live at my home away from home

I grab my .22 rifle, on back to the bush I go
Through the field and across the crick, the path winds to and fro
Huntin’ for some cottontail ‘til it’s too dark to see
I bag me one just in time, big stew tomorrow for me

Grandpa’s on the tractor Grandma’s washin’ clothes
An honest life is how they live at my home away from home

The lake is warm, the sand is hot, the beach is always fun
A bar of soap on a rope, we bathe under the sun
Supper time beneath the cedars, wine jugs on the wood
Chicken as big as turkey, we eat more than we should

Grandpa’s on the tractor Grandma’s washin’ clothes
An honest life is how they live at my home away from home

There’s a big old pond in the middle of town, homes huddled all around
A general store and a school house just a little way’s down
An iron bridge to jump off or fish or make believe
There’s everything here that you could want, no reason to ever leave

Grandpa’s on the tractor Grandma’s washin’ clothes
An honest life is how they live at my home away from home
