Back to the Family Farm (October Surprise) Lyrics

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back

Something is calling me back Back to the Family Farm

My father grew up on a poor farm

The goats were skinny milk was weak

My mother took him by his calloused hands

And said Come back to my family farm

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back

Something is calling me back Back to the Family Farm

Survived on love but how they scrimped and saved

They bought some land beside a little stream

My sisters worked in the fields all day

And we built us a family farm

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back

Something is calling me back Back to the Family Farm

Oh the roots run deep up beside that creek

Though we left to travel far so far

We might have gotten lost along the way

But we'd always hear those echoing voices

We raised our crops the slow and gentle way We trimmed the colas while the music played

But then the law man came to raid our home And they burned down the family farm

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back

Something is calling me back Back to the Family Farm

Ten thousand miles and how much time has gone The county dammed up our little creek bed

They took our land and gave it back to the bank And That's the story of our little farm

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back sweet Jesus

Something is calling me back Back to the Family

Something is calling me back Something is calling me back sweet Jesus

Something is calling me back Back to the Family

Lord willin and the creek don't rise Lord willin and the creek don't rise

Lord willin and the creek don't rise

Come back to the family farm
