Papa served our country

Worked the farm when he came home

He tried to hide the scars of war

But we knew that there were some

And in the combine he would sing

Homeland harvest golden grain

Into the silos from the plains

Them silo shadows comin' soon

Right before the harvest moon

Homeland harvest golden grain

Into the silos from the plains

Them silo shadows comin' soon

Right before the harvest moon

But shadows of the war he fought to keep so deep inside

Mama said they came out sometimes when he slept so late at night

One harvest moon I saw Papa in a beanfield on his knees

Mama said they came out sometimes when he slept so late at night

One harvest moon I saw Papa in a beanfield on his knees

Slowly cryin out some things and lookin at the sky

Since then somehow his battle scars are gone he is free it seems

Silo shadows drifting by silo shadows go on by

And in the combine he would sing

Homeland harvest golden grain

Into the silos from the plains

Them silo shadows comin' soon

Right before the harvest moon

Homeland harvest golden grain

Into the silos from the plains

Them silo shadows comin' soon

Right before the harvest moon
