Faron Young - Baxter Hill

BAXTER HILL

Years ago grandaddy Baxter gave dad 40 acres
Daddy proudly named it Baxter Hill
Him and Mom raised seven kids
And gave us each 1 acre
In hopes someday that's where we all would build
Daddy's greatest dream in life was Baxter Hill


The rest all moved away but
I stayed on with mom and daddy
But they all gathered in when Mama died They were quick decidin'papa couldn't handle bizness
And the six of them all said let's subdivide
You could see them dollar bill signs in their eyes

Chorus I

Yeah, They subdivided daddy's 40 acres
The place where him and mama worked and saved
Not out of need, just out of greed
They built them six room houses
Bet mama's turnin' over in her grave
Just knowin' they've done papa thisaway
