THAT OLD FARMHOUSE
© Matt Burke, Kevan Kirk

When I see that water tower I know I’m close to home
Most stores on Main are going under or closed
Down at the diner in that ‘ol display case,
There’s newspaper clippings from the high school’s glory days

Most folks have moved away
Yeah but my folks have chose to stay

Chorus:
In that old farmhouse
That I grew up in
Yeah, where everything
Looks a little older now
Don’t matter how long I’ve been away
Cause some things never change
Like that old farmhouse

My tires spinning gravel, pulling up the drive
Laundry drying, blowing on the clothes-line
Momma’s in the kitchen cooking on the stove
Dad's on the mower got a few more acres to go

Everything thing in my old room is exactly the same
No there’s nothing out of place

Chorus:
In that old farmhouse
That I grew up in
Yeah, where everything
Looks a little older now
Don’t matter how long I’ve been away
Cause some things never change
Like that old farmhouse

Yeah, they still got an antennae up on the roof for the TV
And over there on the pantry door are the marks where momma used to measure me…

Chorus:
In that old farmhouse
That I grew up in
Yeah, where everything
Looks a little older now
Don’t matter how long I’ve been away
It will always be home
That makes me feel this way
Cause some things never change
Like that old farmhouse

When I see that water tower I know I’m close to home
