I Don't Wanna Leave You On The Farm

Ween · 12 Golden Country Greats [1996]

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna go

Oh, just so ya know

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

Days go by

And I'm still high

But you know

I'm thinkin' about you

Corn's turned brown

The eves fall to the ground

It's a sound that reminds

Me of you

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna go

Oh, just so ya know

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

No telephone

To call you at home

I'm alone

On the throne

Go get somethin'

Hey, thanks for nothin'

I'll keep truckin'

And gettin' myself stoned

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

I don't wanna go

Oh, just so ya know

I don't wanna leave you on the farm

Days go by

And I'm still high

But you know

I'm thinkin' about you

Corn's turned brown

The eves fall to the ground

It's a sound that sticks

Like glue.
