A signal of the times, a turning of the page
There used to be nothing here
But that nothing disappeared
The pond, the barn, the farm, the fields have long since been replaced
Asphalt parking where that ten pew, Pentecostal stood
Fast food, four lanes, and a subdivided neighborhood
The walls of the world are closin' in
The spreadin' city spreads us thin
We can't seem to make our ends meet the black
Never would've thought it wouldn't last
The way of life that time moved past
What I wouldn't give to have the back forty back
Maybe I'm a sucker for knowing who lives next door
A view from my back porch, a pinch of peace and quiet
I can't get back the used to bes
So I hang on to the memories
Of when I could still look up and see the stars not street lights shining
The walls of the world are closin' in
The spreadin' city spreads us thin
We can't seem to make our ends meet the black
Never would've thought it wouldn't last
The way of life that time moved past
What I wouldn't give to have the back forty back
Now I get that progress has its place
With no regard for what it takes
Wish it would slow its pace, and cut us all some slack
'Cause it's all changing way too fast
A way of life that time moved past
What I wouldn't give to have the back forty back

Never would've thought it wouldn't last
Nunca hubiera pensado que no duraría
The way of life that time moved past
La forma de vida que el tiempo dejó atrás
What I wouldn't give to have the back forty back
Lo que no daría por recuperar mis cuarenta acres

A view from my back porch, a pinch of peace and quiet
Una vista desde mi porche trasero, un poco de paz y tranquilidad
I can't get back the used to bes
