Pictures of the farm before us

Old men in a gospel chorus

Sepia and saddle horses Easy on the reins

Am
Mama’s 17 again
Em                                    D5
She’s squinting at the dusty wind the anger of the plains

17 ain’t old enough to reason with the pain

I was riding on my mother’s hip

Didn’t mean to break the cycle
Am
At 17 I went by Michael
Em                          D5
No one ever called me by my own name anyway
D                     Dsus2
Five full generations living
Am                            Em
All these expectations giving way to one
               D5
Late to have a baby on the way
