Pawtuckets
Old fashioned way



Your clothes are tattered and wet from the rain
Your hands are worn, and there's lines on your face
From twenty harvest seasons
Five of hard ground
Pray to God that you don't get shut down
Factories and highways
Foreigners and new ways
It's getting harder everyday
Don't go to college
You won't get much mileage
Out of living the old fashioned way
Two girls and one boy, a wife and a farm
Two hundred acres, cattle, and barn
The crops are gone now
And so are the kids
The money stopped coming but the bills never did
Factories and highway
Foreigners and new ways
It's getting harder everyday
Don't go to college
You won't get much mileage
Out of living the old fashioned way
If I could plant a penny and make it grow many
It would never add up to what I put in
In my yard there's a two lane
And lately it's calling my name
I'm gonna take it and never look back again
Factories and highways
Foreigners and new ways
It's getting harder everday
Don't go to college
You won't get much mileage
Out of living the old fashioned way

Repeat chorus
