DADDY WON'T SELL THE FARM Montgomery Gentry
D C D
His cows get loose and run right through the fast food parking lot
D C
And daddy gets calls from the minimalls when they're down wind
D
from his stalls
D C G D
When his tractor backs up traffic Well the reception ain't too warm
D C G D
The city's growing a-round him but Daddy won't sell the farm
CHORUS:
D
You can't roll a rock up a hill that steep
C
You can't pull roots when they run that deep
G D C G
He's gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G D
Daddy won't sell the farm
D C D
He worked and slaved back in sixty-eight He bought these buildings with trees
D C D
He raised corn and a big red barn And a healthy fami-ly
D C G D
He learned to love the woodlands He can't stand the dome arc
D C G D
Concrete all around him but Daddy won't sell the farm
Go to chorus
C G
One day he's gonna leave it all to me
D C
And I'll start my own branch of the family tree
D C A
They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn
G D
Daddy won't sell the farm
Lead
Chorus
G D C G
We're gonna live and die in the eye of an urban storm
G D
Daddy won't sell the farm
"Oh you know a country boy can survive"
