When Life Was Simple

Eleven acres, a childhood home, A little piece of earth to call our own. No horses in the pasture, no cattle in the field, Just the kind of memories time can never steal. Half that land was planted every year, And I can still remember standing near. Watching tractors rolling through the ground, Listening to that old familiar sound. Corn and soybeans stretching toward the sky, Summer days that seemed to pass so slowly by. I'd stand between the rows of growing corn, Not knowing how much I'd miss where I was born. Back then I never watched the time, Never thought those days would pass me by. I was just a little girl beneath the sun, Not knowing those were days I'd miss when they were done. Oh, take me back when life was simple, When the world was just those fields and home. When the tractors lit the darkness, And I never felt the years go. When the corn stood tall around me, And the summer breeze was all I'd hear. I'd give anything for one more evening, Back when life was simple there. I remember watching hay bales roll, Across the backyard, row by row. Watching all the work that farmers do, Underneath those skies of endless blue. And when the harvest finally came around, I'd watch the golden crops come tumbling down. Through the pipes and into trailers waiting near, A sight I looked forward to every year. The farmer's dogs would wander up our way, Find our front porch and decide to stay. We'd bring them little pieces of cheese, While they rested in the afternoon breeze. They weren't our dogs, but they knew our door, And somehow that just made me love them more. Such a little thing, but looking back, Those are the moments I wish I still had. Oh, take me back when life was simple, When the world was just those fields and home. When the tractors lit the darkness, And I never felt the years go. When the corn stood tall around me, And the summer breeze was all I'd hear. I'd give anything for one more evening, Back when life was simple there. I can still see those lights across the land, Long after daylight left the farmer's hands. Working through the night to bring the harvest in, While I watched from home, safe and warm within. I didn't know those moments were a gift, Or how much of that childhood I would miss. If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing, I'd just stay a little longer in those memories. Oh, take me back when life was simple, Before the years went rushing by. When the fields were full of memories, And the stars filled up the sky. Let me hear those tractors running, See the harvest underneath the moon. Let me stand among that tall corn, Just one more summer afternoon. I know that I can't turn back time, And those days are somewhere far behind. But there's a little girl still standing there, On eleven acres, without a care. No horses, no cattle, no big old barn, Just a childhood home beside a farm. And though the years have carried me away, A part of me is still there to this day. When life was simple... And those fields were home.
