《Houses in the Fields》歌词

[00:00:00] Houses in the Fields - John Gorka

[00:00:14] They're growing houses in the fields between the towns

[00:00:21] And the Starlight drive-in movie's closing down

[00:00:27] The road is gone to the way it was before

[00:00:35] And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

[00:00:42] Two more farms were broken by the drought

[00:00:49] First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out

[00:00:57] Developers paid better than the corn

[00:01:04] But this was not the place where they were born

[00:01:11] There's houses in the fields

[00:01:15] No prayers for steady rain this year

[00:01:19] Houses in the fields

[00:01:22] There's houses in the fields

[00:01:29] And the last few farms are growing out of here

[00:01:40] At first he wouldn't sell and then he would

[00:01:46] Now they'll be children playing where the silo stood

[00:01:53] The word came from the marrow of his bones

[00:02:00] It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans

[00:02:08] The new streets will be named for kings and queens

[00:02:14] And a ransom will be payed for every castle's dream

[00:02:22] The model sign is crested with a lion

[00:02:29] And the farmers they will have enough to die on

[00:02:36] There's houses in the fields

[00:02:40] No prayers for steady rain this year

[00:02:44] Houses in the fields

[00:02:48] There's houses in the fields

[00:02:54] And the last few farms are growing out of here

[00:03:05] I guess no one should be afraid of change

[00:03:12] But tell me why is there a fence for every open range

[00:03:19] It's a sign I'm getting on in years

[00:03:26] When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears

[00:03:33] There's houses in the fields

[00:03:38] No prayers for steady rain this year

[00:03:41] Houses in the fields

[00:03:44] There's houses in the fields

[00:03:52] And the last few farms are growing out of here

[00:04:02] They're growing houses in te fields between the towns

[00:04:09] And the Starlight drive-in movie's closing down

[00:04:16] The road is gone to the way it was before

[00:04:20] And the spaces won't be spaces anymore

[00:04:30] And the spaces won't be spaces anymore
