Next To The Soil

G   D


[Verse]
             D
I want to be free   with the 
whippoorwills  callin'
             Em            
I want to go back  'fore my 
            D
conscience spoils
D
'Fore I lose my faith   in my next 
door neighbor
               Em                  
Just let me go home   live next to 
    D
the soil


[Verse]
              G                 
The city's no place   for an old 
     D
cow-puncher
                  Em         
Just spendin' his dough   and 
              D
breakin' his back
                   G           
When the work gets through   no 
          D
money no nothin'

The roosters crow   and a new day's 
dawnin'
               Em                  
It's bacon and eggs   hot biscuits 
    D

D
Who could ask for more   it's free
