After hearing so many trite songs (sung by people who live in cities) of how a person is beaten down by the faceless city only to return to their lovely mountain home, we felt the other story needed telling.
lyrics
Wake up with the cows, looking out over the fields
wind is blowing, roosters crowing, sun is glowing on the farm
step out on the porch, breath that clean virginia air,
if i had a different life, i believe i'd give up my left arm
goddamnit i can't stand this country living
these stupid mountains are too big, these paychecks are too small
i'd like to do more taking and less giving
i'm headed for the land of cul de sacs and mini malls.

Ken Landreth is one of my favorite banjo players of all time. This whole album is amazing! Makes me miss those hot sunny days in the Mt. Airy flatlands watching these guys shred. altacke
