Lyrics

Down on the farm
Where the chickens run free
Scratching their nuts
On the old oak tree

Coming undone
It's a party, unwind
Smokin' that grass
Gonna have a good time

My blood, my sweat, my bones
My blood, my sweat, my bones
And that's not all

Sing a new song
Sing it crazy and free
Lovin' that tune
And the sound of me
Playing guitar
And beating them drums
Twiddling knobs
And sucking my thumb

My blood, my sweat, my bones
My blood, my sweat, my bones
And that's not all

Nobody ever meant to tell you
Our hearts could beat as one

My blood, my sweat, my bones
My blood, my sweat, my bones and that's not all

Nobody ever meant to tell you
Our hearts could beat as one
