John Gorka - Houses in the fields

They're growing ^Ghouses in the ^Dfield between the ^Ctowns And the ^EmStarlight Drive-in ^Dmovie's closing ^Cdown ^G The road is gone to the ^Dway it was be^Cfore And the ^Emspaces won't be ^Dspaces any^Cmore

^GTwo more farms were ^Dbroken by the ^Cdrought First the ^EmWagners now the ^DFullers pulling ^Cout ^G Developers paid ^Dbetter than the ^Ccorn But ^Emthis was not the ^Dplace where they were ^Cborn ^{G C}

There's houses in the ^Dfields No prayers for steady rain this year ^C Houses in the ^Dfields There's houses in the fi^Celds ^{G Am} The last few farms are ^Dgrowing out of h^Gere ^C

At ^Gfirst he wouldn't ^Dsell and then he w^Could Now ^Emthere'll be children ^Dplaying where the ^Csilos stood ^G The word came from the ^Dmarrow of his b^Cones It was the ^Emlast sure way to ^Dpay off all the l^Coans

The ^Gnew streets will be ^Dnamed for kings and qu^Ceens And a ^Emransom will be ^Dpaid for every ^Ccastle's dream ^G The model sign is ^Dcrested with a li^Con And the ^Emfarmers they will ^Dhave enough to die ^Con ^{G C}
