Karaoké Daddy Won't Sell the Farm Montgomery Gentry

His cows get loose and run right through the fast food parking lots

And Daddy gets calls from the mini-malls when they're downwind from his hogs

When his tractor backs up traffic the reception ain't too warm

The city's growing around him but Daddy won't sell the farm

You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep

You can't pull roots when they run that deep

He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm

Daddy won't sell the farm

He worked and slaved in 'sixty-eight he bought these fields and trees

He raised his corn and a big red barn and a healthy family

He learned to love the woodlands he can't stand to do them harm

There's concrete all around him but Daddy won't sell the farm

You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep

You can't pull roots when they run that deep

He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm

Daddy won't sell the farm

One day he's gonna leave it all to me and I'll start my own branch of the family tree

They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn

Daddy won't sell the farm

You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep

You can't pull roots when they run that deep

He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm

Daddy won't sell the farm

We're gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm

Daddy won't sell the farm

Oh, you know how country boys can survive
