Farther Than Your Eyes Can See

Red Tractor hauls like a mule
Bolts like leather
Smokes like daddy use to
Yellow dog down at the barn
Sleeping in the door
Does nobody harm
Wouldn't want him to

Chorus:
And the sun keeps setting
On the edge of this no town
Everything turns to rust and blows away
Say good bye to the little things
Who you love means something
Farther than your eyes can see


White House sits in the shade
Saw the blue and gray
Through curtains in an upstairs room
Black snake crawls on the porch
Looking for biscuits in the window
Brown cow stands at the gate feeling real safe
Nothing on her mind but the thought of hay

Pink flower grows near the steps
Is blooming there yet
Planted in the spring of '66
White man sits in his room
Still be working strong if able to
Gray pictures hang on the wall
Toy stringed tied to a nail
The family eyes and jaw
