Do you ever just drive around br To see the country sights? br Old homesteads crumbling with time br It never seems quite right br br Sometimes the cows gather ‘round br With old buildings in their midst br Yes, they have their own kind of charm br At one time they were quite a hit br br It’s sad but yet has beauty br A mixture or then and now br But it’s part of the rural landscape br For the horses and herds of cows br br Oh if only we were able br To peek right into the past br Those homes had so many memories br If only they could last br br But nothing lasts forever br A house or a stately barn br They have a lifetime of memories br But time keeps trudging on!br br Marilyn Lottbr br
