Lyrics

Fields were wide and green
Now all that's left are concrete houses for eternal rest
What was once the earth's embrace
Buried by the urban race
The hooves that beat the dawn
Now replaced by a city song
Suburban throng
The legacy of land erased
By the hand of progress displaced
We've traded fields for steel and stone
A world that we've come to own
Where flowers bloomed and buds were grown
Now lost beneath the endless drone
From pasture to pavement
A permanent replacement
Where horses used to roam
Turn roots into rubble
Pick up your shovel
And return, return on home
On the other side of this interstate
Are more fields bound to this fate
The sound of sandhills turned to your drill
From soil to concrete all is still
From pasture to pavement
A permanent replacement
Where horses used to roam
Turn roots into rubble
Pick up your shovel
And return, return on home
From pasture to pavement
A permanent replacement
Turn roots into rubble
Won't you pick up your shovel
Return on home
Won't you pick up your shovel
Return on home
Won't you pick up your shovel
Return on home
