Theyre growing houses in the fields between the towns And the Starlight drive-in movies closing down The road is gone to the way it was before And the spaces wont be spaces anymore Two more farms were broken by the drought First the Wagners, now the Fullers pulling out Developers paid better than the corn But this was not the place where they were born Theres houses in the fields No prayers for steady rain this year Houses in the fields Theres houses in the fields And the last few farms are growing out of here At first he wouldnt sell and then he would Now therell be children playing where the silo stood The word came from the marrow of his bones It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans The new streets will be named for kings and queens And a ransom will be paid for every castles dream The model sign is crested with a lion And the farmers they will have enough to die on Theres houses in the fields No prayers for steady rain this year Houses in the fields Theres houses in the fields And the last few farms are growing out of here I guess no one should be afraid of change But tell me why is there a fence for every open range Its a sign Im getting on in years When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears Theres houses in the fields No prayers for steady rain this year Houses in the fields Theres houses in the fields And the last few farms are growing out of here Theyre growing houses in the fields between the towns And the Starlight drive-in movies closing down The road is gone to the way it was before And the spaces wont be spaces anymore And the spaces wont be spaces anymore - John Gorka Houses in the Fields One of my favorites of his, even tho we live in one of these houses in the fields
