Into Town

Son, I want you to take me into town
 I don't want to scare the children
 But I think my time has finally come around
 Just let me look into my grandson's eyes
 And hide that I won't see him grown
 Son, I want you to take me into town
 So I won't have to go alone
 Son, I want you to take me into town
 I've lived a life without a lot of fuss
 And see no need to change it now
 The grain don't get a say in how much rain will fall
 Or how fast the summers fly
 Son, I want you to take me into town
 So I won't have to say goodbye
 I'm glad we got the planting done
 When autumn comes, you'll need another hand
 Just be sure to look them in the eyes
 And only take a man who really loves the land
 Son, I want you to take me into town
 No need to fill the air with words
 Just tell your boy he's always made me proud
 And if I start to go, just take a breath
 And do your best to keep 'er on the road
 Then take me into town, and turn around
 And you make your way back home
 Just take me into town, then turn around
