On the plains of Minnesota, 7 miles southeast of Jackson, just a quarter mile east of Petersburg
Sits an old 4 square farmhouse, in the Des Moines River valley, on a small farm south of Ringenberg’s 

Take the quarter mile gravel lane; it’s mostly all downhill, and at the bottom stands a grove of trees 
And as you turn into the farmyard there you will see, the house that holds the memories 

That’s where I come from, where my life began; it’s where I return to, every now and then
A down home country farmhouse, simple in its plan, 
Many years have come and gone, but it will always be a part of who I am  

My brother and my sisters, my mother and my dad, taught me to be grateful for everything we had
Food on the table, a roof over our head, and you best believe that prayers were always said 
Hard times would come and go, but they never lasted long;  just brought us close together; made us strong
We sang away our troubles with a Gospel melody, sweet old time country in 3 part harmony   

Well, many years have come and gone, our family grew, we still meet at the farmhouse, to heal and renew
It’s a little more crowded now, lots of feet on the floor, but mom was right, there’s always room for more

That’s where I come from, where my life began; it’s where I return to, every now and then
A down home country farmhouse, simple in its plan 
Many years have come and gone, but it will always be a part of who I am
