joshua quimby - the barn lyrics

[verse 1]
a few decades ago, there lived an old dairy farmer
he built up his barn out on sugar hill road
his livestock were strong, and his milk was the freshest
here in this little town, every bottle was sold

[verse 2]
but the times, they’re a_changin’
it’s somethin’ real strange, but
the farmer, he sold away the land
and as it was developed, new houses were set up
and the barn sat decaying and d_mned

[verse 3]
now my folks, they bought up a house ‘cross the street
it was nicer and newer, it was neater and clean
but out back in the yard, lived remains of the farm
that was some years before picturesque and serene

[verse 4]
and we’d play in the tall grass
we’d practically trespass
and run ‘mongst the rusted old gear
the spoke of a tractor, that once knew a pasture
laid untouched and busted for years
[chorus]
this town ain’t the same it was back in the day
h_ll, it’s not the same town i once knew
well, i left it behind, and i returned to find
that ’bout half the d_mn place was built new
that ’bout half the d_mn place was built new

[verse 5]
well, the barn that once stood has been newly demolished
the land sold again to build homes ‘long the street
went from dense woods to grassland, to mud then to asphalt
’til all trace of what once was became obsolete

[verse 6]
long gone was the charm
of that dirty old barn that i grew up a_drivin’ on by
and replaced with an eye_sore of dismal home decor
that doesn’t fit in by a mile

[chorus]
this town ain’t the same it was back in the day
h_ll, it’s not the same town i once knew
well, i left it behind, and i returned to find
that ’bout half the d_mn place was built new
that ’bout half the d_mn place was built new
[bridge]
well, i’d sure hate to see a d_mn day come to be
where each dirt road is paved
where the trees are chopped clean
where each barn in this town
is torn down and becomes memory, it can’t be
