in my back years theres an apple tree and an
orchard left to die
a chicken coupe and a gallery where the paint has all run dry

an olive tree planted most by me
through the years i watched it grow
i found it in the ground at my uncle slims

i dug it up and brought it home

God i miss those days

and he said son
just let it go it'll be ok
and my father gave it all away

but when i grow up ill buy it back some day

in my backyard theres a couple dogs

and my love who lost her eye
if you listen late at night you can hear the frogs and see the stars up in the sky
Me and Pauline in a sol out scene were the river ran so bright

if the dark crept in Min would tuck me in and Bianca was my light

(chorus repeat)


I've seen a pillbox take two should
I've spent my tim in hospitals

i preached the gospel to my grandma on her bed
and held her husband to my chest as we both laid her down to rest
through some tears on my lapel, hell, he'd done his best

my pepper tree my swing of chains
that gate that swelled shut in the rain
and when we cut the pine down lord i felt her pain


my old white room my little fears my fire place and my chandelier
all things things i had i have to leave back here


ill buy it back someday


chorus repeat
