[00:13.198]For sale by owner sign on Highway 59
[00:19.040]A signal of the times, a turning of the page
[00:24.619]There used to be nothing here
[00:27.536]But that nothing disappeared
[00:30.186]The pond, the barn, the farm, the fields
[00:33.120]Have long since been replaced
[00:36.039]
[00:36.567]Asphalt parking where that ten pew Pentecostal stood
[00:42.151]Fast food, four lanes, and a subdivided neighborhood
[00:47.192]
[00:47.991]The walls of the world are closin' in
[00:51.183]The spreadin' city spreads us thin
[00:54.101]Till we can't seem to make our ends meet in the black
[00:59.869]I never would've thought it wouldn't last
[01:03.061]A way of life that time moved past
[01:05.981]What I wouldn't give to have the back 40 back
[01:12.897]
[01:23.508]Maybe I'm a sucker for knowing who lives next door
[01:29.088]A view from my back porch, a pinch of peace and quiet
[01:34.861]I can't get back the used to be's
[01:37.788]So I hang on to the memories
[01:40.434]Of when I could still look up and see the stars not street lights shining
[01:46.018]
[01:46.546]The walls of the world are closin' in
[01:49.732]The spreadin' city spreads us thin
[01:52.659]Till we can't seem to make our ends meet in the black
[01:58.494]I never would've thought it wouldn't last
[02:01.419]A way of life that time moved past
[02:04.336]What I wouldn't give to have the back 40 back
[02:11.777]
[02:21.865]Now I get that progress has its place
[02:25.058]And no regard for what it takes
[02:27.711]Wish it would slow its pace, and cut us all some slack
[02:33.301]'Cause it's all changing way too fast
[02:36.493]A way of life that time moved past
[02:39.674]What I wouldn't give to have the back 40 back
