Hard Acre Songtext
von Cooper Alan

Saw it as I was driving by
An old man tapping in a for sale sign so I
Pulled into the gravel drive
And said, "Whatcha want for it?"
Well, if ya got time I can show you round

It′s got good bones and solid ground
I said "sold" so he pulled a bottle out
And he started pouring
He said as he shed a tear, "Son you're gonna love it here"

I thought I′d be here 'til I died
But the money ran out before my time
Without her here it's too much by myself
If it′s as good to you as it was to me
Then you′ll fill this house full of memories
And end up with more stories than you can tell
And if you're lucky as hell
It′ll be a damn hard acre to sell


Buddy you ain't seen a view
′Til the woman you love's holding onto you
Kids running round the front yard together
She leans in and whispers I could do this forever

I thought I′d be here 'til I died
But the money ran out before my time
Without her here it's too much by myself
If it′s as good to you as it was to me
Then, you′ll fill this house full of memories
And end up with more stories than you can tell
And if you're lucky as hell
It′ll be a damn hard acre to sell

It ain't easy, yeah, it′s bittersweet (bittersweet)
Handing somebody else the keys (else the key)
But I can tell
That you're gonna treat it well


I thought I′d be here 'til I died
But the money ran out before my time
Without her here it's too much by myself
If it′s as good to you as it was to me
Then you′ll fill this house full of memories
And end up with more stories than you can tell
And if you're lucky as hell
It′ll be a damn hard acre to sell

It'll be a damn hard acre to sell
