Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My favorite horse is buried on this farm
We would ride amongst the orchard rows
And be scared of snakes together
I was riding high from toes to crown
My head held up, my heels thrust down
That's the way I carry myself today
[Verse 2]
Throw me in the thicket when I die
Let the earth reclaim my body
Let the worms devour my insides
It's fed me now for oh so long
I'll feed it for days bygone
And for all that's worth to you
I'd bet the farm
[Verse 3]
My daddy said he'd die up on his farm
For to tie him even closer
To the Lord's foreclosure
His soul dispersed along this ground
Somebody hauled him into town
Still, I place little tractors on his grave
[Verse 4]
Throw me in the thicket when I die
Let the earth reclaim my body
Let the worms devour my insides
It's fed me now for oh so long
I'll feed it for days bygone
And for all that's worth to you
I'd bet the farm
[Verse 5]
You don't need no flowers or epitaph
To nourish the trees your babies graft
The graveyard's getting overrun these days
[Verse 6]
So throw me in the thicket when I die
Let the earth reclaim my body
Let the worms devour my insides
It's fed me now for oh so long
I'll feed it for days bygone
And for all that's worth to you
I'd bet the farm
[Verse 7]
For all that's worth to you
L'd bet the farm
