STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 68, "Iowa"

Hey ya'll here's ours for the week! Wrote this song after working on a farm in Iowa one summer. Met some wonderful people, did some good work, and fell in love with the place. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

fireflies fill the dusk air, the fields sway and glow
you and I were thick as thieves oh, we were right as the rain
time rolls slow like a freight train, through the high and coming grain

oooo I'm gonna miss this
oooo I'm gonna miss all of this

Carolyn Dahl, you're a strong girl, and as sweet as the fall
far have I walked, much have I seen, but no home as true as this

oooo I'm gonna miss this
oooo I'm gonna miss all of this
they say it's a venture of its own, but I'm gonna miss

someday I will marry and settle
that prairie home
until that sweet sweet day
I'm a stranger in town
I'm a stranger in town

and I loved it, twists and turns, ending up off the trail
but now I'm dressed up, black and tall, I'll see you all this fall
