This song was a project with ”MPP”, produced by me and Trym Paulsén, with musicians I don´t know the name of. I post it here as a tribute to Anna-Karin who now, in April 2019, has let go of her current existence.
Born to be a farmer
(I can Feel it)
By The Mr Bengt Alvang Travellin´ Bluegrass Band
2006
I was born to be a farmer
My mama used tell me
and a farmer I was a gonna be
She preached every mornin´
and she preached every night
and told me that she was right
REF: But I Said,
”Mama,
I can feel it,
I can feel it,
in my bones”
Repeat
At first she didn´t get it
Cause she had a plan for her son
And nothings gonna stay in her way
”You take care of them cows
And feed those pigs
And thats all ya need to know”
”Someday ya gonna realize
That the world is just too big
For the likes of you and me”
”It´s better to stay around
and take care of what youve got
Or ya sure gonna regret a lot”
REF x2
”But listen to me now
I know what´s best for you
And deep down you know it´s true”
(”don´t ya”)
”The pigsty needs some cleanin´
and the truck could need some oil
and you better move some ass”
”Even though you dream
and think you´r something special
I can tell you it´s too late”
”Many a boy has had
his head up in the sky
but they all fall down and cry”
REF x 2
”Mother, you gave me
all the reasons
why I should do somethin´ else”
”You didn´t understand
that you can keep a cow inside
but you can´t keep a man from his ride”
”So precious is my life
that I´m not gonna waste
the sweetnes of it all”
”Now, I do my thing
I follow my own will
cause this one, you didn´t kill”
REF x 2
TOTALLY COOL! WE NEED TO GET YOU OUT BIG!
