Roots rock delves back whether to blues, folk, country, spanning out to hybrids of these forms. It’s not a lot different to what we’ve been looking at

Moving from the Farmhouse

It came as a hell of a shock
causing me to at last take stock
I was complete in complacency
so much I couldn't face you see
Lying in my quarters half my health is gone
soon though I'll be leaving where I belong 
CHORUS: Moving from the farmhouse
my family formed a circle round my frail familiar frame
Moving from the farmhouse
nothing no now nothing will ever be the same

I ran back over my escapades
all the times we had it made
 dreams now seem so resolute
trust the dust and rust to be destitute

I moved down here to start anew
did I manage as I planned it in your view 
with the reminders you'll find were kinder 
each machine evokes a scene
more distant than I mean 

Walking out and working out
what it was for
sent from where we went before
Stir and stare at what's in store
CHORUS: Moving from the farmhouse
my family forms a circle round my frail familiar frame
Moving from the farmhouse
sever forever now will never be the same
