Pounding staples, fixing fence Straightening out the ones all bent He's moving forward but he's looking back Sees he followed in his Daddy's tracks It was 1963 He never thought that he would be here Doing just the thing his old man did But he's got a wife, and there's three small kids So he traded in his favorite traveling boots For that chance that they could grow some solid roots In that same land where he once had grown his own On that farm back home And never once did he think twice Or see the choice that he'd made as a sacrifice He knew in this life you reap what you've sown And for every dream that he saw fade away A new one came to take it's place That was stronger 'cause he never dreamt alone On that farm back home The years slipped quickly through his grasp Before he knew it he'd watched his last son Heading on his way out through the door Just like he'd done all those years before He'd heard the call that Uncle Sam Was looking for a few good men and Something told him that he had to go Though what he'd find there he didn't know But he traded in the safety of his roots And he polished up their standard issue boots To defend the country and the life he'd known On that farm back home. And never once did he think twice Or see the choice that he'd made as a sacrifice He knew in this life you reap what you've sown And for every dream that he saw fade away A new one came to take it's place That was stronger 'cause he never dreamt alone On that farm back home A few years later down the road That youngest son returned With the battle scars he carried And the lessons he had learned And the dream of doing just the thing That his own old man had done So he could pass that dream on down to his own son And never once did he think twice Or see the choice that he'd made as a sacrifice He knew in this life you reap what you've sown And for every dream that he saw fade away A new one came to take it's place That was stronger 'cause he never dreamt alone On that farm back home On that farm back home On that farm back home
