Lyrics:
There is an old barn on a ghost farm
Hollowed out and filled with stars
The sky fell through the busted roof
A hole so wide, the moon came too
There’s a strange glow in these kind of ruins
A broken dream we’re clinging to
Cornfields, roadkill, bird song, hoping still
Still thinking about that oak tree
There on the edge of that property
On land stolen, bought, and tilled
Two hundred years and that tree is still
Holding up the canopy of a forest cut for currency
Can’t imagine, still I try
Intelligence outside my mind
Patience, dignity, old-growth, green leaves
Deep roots, metal teeth cutting through the years of those tree rings
Tornado siren, tumbleweed, Christmas lights on main street
Cornfields, roadkill, bird song, hoping still
Driving wild to get there quick
Outrunning the hurt you know will stick
Rich with excuses but I’m not convinced
Just cause you’re speeding ahead
Doesn’t mean that it’s fixed
Cornfields, roadkill, bird song, hoping still

Humbird is such a gem 😍 feels like I discovered an entire treasure by finding her music this morning.

Heard you play this at Sisters Folk Festival - can't wait to see you in Portland!

[@lyndontaylor1380]

Such a mean groove! Love it❤

Oh, yes! This is such wonderful poetry. First off, thank you for sharing your amazing song on YT. Second, what a ray of hope that there are artists like you in this world. As a 72 year old, I often have to grimace when my son presents a new song on YT for me take a listen to. You and some other artists give me hope for our future. Keep on feeding on your inspirations and writing, playing and singing. My first exposure to you was 'Kansas City, Mo' live from the Pony Rug. That was an outstanding 'present' performance and this 'new' one is a beautiful triptych with incredible opening imagery and then flowing into a driving, gritty rocker. A true diversity of styles that is impressive.

I literally accidentally clicked this and instantly knew it would be a good song, I’m so glad it came up on my feed 😊

[@vanceritchey7248]

Love it. You must be from the Midwest too. You're a great songwriter and your voice is amazing.

[@Snowmannorth]

That voice…wow! I love the way this song is mixed. A little bit of echo thrown in here and there.

[@scottcrabtree3113]

So glad you are releasing this goodness to us all. Well done, all involved.
