Built on Sand

Fleeing Northwards from Virginia Loyal to the Union Jack They brought with them a culture Of growing tobacco plants From Alymer through to Delhi And all across the Norfolk plain Through the 50s and the 60s Man we'd thought it'd never change But nothing that's built on sand can last forever There ain't no pausing the good ole days It won't be long till the kiln stays empty And the lakeshore road is all but washed away A hundred acres could feed a family And the counties roads got paved We'd thank the Lord for all his gifts And for sending down some rain Old stock boys and German girls Could find love at the Belgian hall And cross town rivals could settle their scores On the football fields that fall But nothing that's built on sand can last forever There ain't no pausing the good ole days It won't be long till the kiln stays empty And the lakeshore road is all but washed away I'd sit and listen too their stories As a young boy at the coffee shop Of days gone by when the tobacco was high And I'd dream of being born back in those simpler times But now the farms been subdivided And houses going up Our little town it's becoming a city From dust to dust from the boom to the bust The sands of time they just won't stop falling But nothing that's built on sand can last forever There ain't no pausing the good ole days It won't be long till the kiln stays empty And the lakeshore road is all but washed away
