lyrics

Over in the Fields

I bought a 79 chevy in 85
'n that's it over in the fields
Those two trucks were my grandaddy's n'
He bought 'em just before the paint all peeled
Terry my brother left his wagon there n'
That Olsmobile is the one his wife crashed
Their three kids and my two boys
Each a have a couple that are broken and smashed
Over in the fields

Some people buy clothes and houses and such
But that don't turn my wheels
Around here buddy we but these cars
We fix 'em up and make each other deals
It might run for a week, it might run for a year
We keep 'em as long as it's got a good feel
We ain't goin' nowhere, nobody ever does
We just drive 'em in the dirt then we leave'em in the fields

Over in the fields
Cars and busses and Frigidaires
All of 'em rusting over in the fields
Vegetation grows up all around 'em who cares

I got a '87 Ford pick up truck
'n I used to haul parts for these cars
But lately I've been haulin radar antenna
That pull in tv beams from the stars
Jimmy Johnson gave me two hundred dollars
Cash money to move his old rusted outs
I rented a wrecker and it took me all day
And part of another till the winch gave out and there it sits
Over in the fields

Over in the fields
Cars and busses and Frigidaires
All of 'em rusting over in the fields
Vegetation grows up all around 'em who cares

Over in the fields you might find somebodys old news papers
Over in the fields you might find somebodys old abandoned love nest
Over in the fields you might find somebodys old beat up baby doll
Over in the fields you might find some you might find some
you might find some body over in the fields.

Inspired and influenced by early country, blues, rock and pop
Jeff Smith writes songs and tells elongated and elliptical stories about them. Jeff's Appalachian drawl slides in and around his guitar playing and Smith says “on a good night the stories and songs swing on top of a funky kind of country blues pop stomp”. Now residing in the swamps of Virginia, Smith performs club gigs and
concerts. ... more
