    Em      D     C       
For sale by owner sign on 
Em            D
Highway fifty-nine
         Em     D      
A signal of the times, 
  C              Em    D
a turning of the page
      Em         D       C       
There used to be nothing here, 
         Em          D
but that nothing disappeared
    D                   Em        D      
The pond, the barn, the farm, the fields 
     C                  Em     D
have long since been replaced
C                          
Asphalt parking where that 
Am                  Em
ten pew Pentecostal stood
C                       
Fast food, four lanes, 
      Am                 Em
and a subdivided neighborhood
 
 
[Chorus]

G                                  Em
The walls of the world are closin’ in
                              C
The spreadin’ city spreads us thin
              G              
Till we can't seem to make 
    Am               Em    D  
our ends meet in the black
G                                    Em
I never would've thought it wouldn't last
                              C
A way of life that time moved past
       G                Am      
What I wouldn't give to have... 
         Em    G
the back forty back

[Verse]

Em          D      C   Em        
Maybe I’m a sucker for knowing  
               D
who lives next door
            Em             
A view from my back porch, 
  C                  Em    D
a pinch of peace and quiet
            Em       D       C       
I can’t get back the used to be’s, 
     Em             D
so I hang on to the memories
                           Em          
Of when I could still look up and see 
    C                       Em      D
the stars not street lights shining
 
 
[Chorus]

G                                  Em
The walls of the world are closin’ in
                              C
The spreadin’ city spreads us thin
              G            
Till we can't seem to make 
    Am               Em    D
our ends meet in the black
G                                    Em
I never would've thought it wouldn't last
                              C
A way of life that time moved past
       G                Am      
What I wouldn't give to have... 
         Em    G
the back forty back
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G                                Em
Now, I get that progress has its place
                          C
And no regard for what it takes
              G               
Wish it would slow its pace, 
    Am              Em     D
and cut us all some slack
G                                Em
‘Cause it’s all changing way too fast
                              C
A way of life that time moved past
       G                Am       
What I wouldn't give to have... 
         Em    G 
the back forty back
