Down On The Farm

Little Feat Down On The Farm Lyrics
1.Down On The Farm(LP Version)

Lyricist:Gabriel BarrerePaul Barrere
Writer(s):Gabriel BarrerePaul Barrere

They all asked about you
Down on the farm
The cows asked, the pigs asked
The horses asked, too
All wanna know why to the city
You moved, changed your name to Kitty
What's come over you?

It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

They's all bawling 'bout you
Down on the farm
The cows bawl, the pigs bawl
The horses bawl, too
Miss you so much that crying's
All we can do
Weeping and wailing, praying
You'll come home soon

It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

I hear you're working in a saloon
I hear ya work from midnight 'til noon
I might be from the woods
But them hours don't sound so good
What do you do in here barroom?

It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou

You can't dance so I assume
In a bag you couldn't carry a tune
I might be from the woods
But these hours don't sound so good
What you doin' in here barroom?
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true; it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou


2.Six Feet Of Snow(LP Version)

Lyricist:Keith GodchauxLowell George
Writer(s):Keith GodchauxLowell George

Six feet of snow comin' through my radio
It's rainin' in stilettos from here clear down to Mexico
My hands they're numb from hangin' on that
Steering wheel
They're frozen tight, hope the wind
Don't blow me off the road tonight
Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneakin' in through my windows
Don't you know how much I hate to
Be so cold and so alone
I'm comin' home

If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her, next to her tonight

Sweet New Orleans, that's where my girl
She waits for me
Hair so long and eyes so green
She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen

Don't you know the ice and snow
Is sneakin' through this boy's window
Don't you know how much I hate to
Be so cold and so alone
I'm comin' home

If it wasn't for the lines that wind side by side
I'd be lying next to her, next to her tonight


3.Perfect Imperfection(LP Version)

Lyricist:Paul BarrereTom Snow
Writer(s):Paul BarrereTom Snow

There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
Thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw

Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide

You know that there's no reason
For you to be alone
Just 'cause love's treason
Broke, broke you happy home
You can't celebrate
When all you feel is sufferin' heartache

Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide


4.Kokomo(LP Version)

Lyricist:Lowell George
Writer(s):Lowell George

Now, anybody ever seen her, they call her
Miss Demeanor
Watch the way she slides from side to side
Move so loose, look so good
Plays in every game she could

Now, she smell so sweet, like apple pie
Oh so good 'bout to make me die
For a slice or two I'd be a fool
'Round the neighborhood they say
She don't give no slice away

You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight

Now, if you ever, ever see her just call her
Miss Demeanor
Plays in every game, game around
Always keeps her aces down
Broken hearts all over town

You can Kokomo in a china cup
Kind of love I need come from deep inside
Feel so good, oh so right
Oh so good and tight
Kokomo with me, Kokomo with me tonight


5.Be One Now(LP Version)

Lyricist:Fred TackettLowell George
Writer(s):Fred TackettLowell George

Well, I see you so far away
In my memory you will stay
There's a good life, a right way to go
But sometimes I feel so low

If you wanna love me, wanna be my friend
Be one now, be one now
And you say you need me and you want to share
Darlin', where's your love? Darlin', where?

Take a chance, you can't play it safe
Trust your soul, you won't lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

There's a moonrise in an eastern sky
Clouds they try but cannot hide
And the storm will cease and the sun will shine
Roll away for all mankind

Take a chance, you can't play it safe
Trust your soul, you won't lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

There's a way to a better life
Hesitate, you know you'll pay the price
If you ever slip and fall
There's a love here after all, a love here after al

It's a new day, never mind the past
Lay it down 'cause it won't last
And you say you need me and you say you care
Where's your love, darlin'? Oh, darlin', where?

Take a chance, you can't play it safe
Trust your soul, you won't lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

Take a chance, you can't play it safe
Trust your soul, you won't lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray


6.Straight From The Heart (LP Version)

Lyricist:Bill PayneLowell George
Writer(s):Bill PayneLowell George

It was a mystery, one of a kind
No doubt about it
Over my shoulder I was lookin' to see
Just what was comin', comin' at me

One step up, two steps back
Right on the money
Got me right on the line

Straight from her heart
Straight into mine
Feelin' I'm gettin'
Comin' through fine
I'm gettin' it
Straight from the heart

Try to remember, don't you forget
don't ever doubt it
Up from behind just hiding from view
The love of a lifetime my sneak in on you
One step up, two steps back
Right on the money
Clear down the line

Straight from the heart
Straight to your mind
The love that you're gettin'
Is comin' through fine
You're gettin' it
Straight from the heart

You're lookin' so puzzled, no need to be
Didn't I tell you don't ever doubt me
One step up, two steps back
What got behind you
Well, it got through to me

Straight from the heart
Straight to your mind
The love that you're gettin'
Is comin' through fine
You're gettin' it
Straight from the heart


7.Front Page News(LP Version)

Lyricist:Bill PayneLowell George
Writer(s):Bill PayneLowell George

Don't it always seem to hit you
Rght when you think you can lay back easy
Those times are hard to come by
Sittin' still with nothin' on your mind

Memories are friends that you had
It's so clear if you need to see
I can count on you, you can count
You can count on me

Those clouds outside your doorway
Don't seem so dark or move so fast

If you keep on rocking long as it keeps raining
Back and forth on your porch
Just keep on rocking, keep on rocking

If I could only tell you what I feel now
It's been so long inside of me
All the years that I've been trying
To stay in touch, to stay in line
Trying just to be myself, be myself
And no one else

Front page right through to back page
Have I got news for you

You know the story; it's the truth; love's the proof

If you keep on rocking long as it keeps raining
Back and forth on your porch
Just keep on rocking; keep on rocking
Have I got news for you
Front page, back page
Have I got news for you
Front page, back page
Have I got news for you


8.Wake Up Dreaming(LP Version)

Lyricist:Bill PayneFran Payne
Writer(s):Bill PayneFran Payne

Maybe there's another place
Some other time or space
I never have to leave something to believe
Maybe love will find a way
And this time come to stay
Another way to be if love could just find me

But I wake up dreamin' again
And, oh, the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how o make this dream come true

Every new day brings sunshine and everything
I've seen it somewhere before
One more reason why

I don't let it pass me by
Another way to feel
With a love that can be real

But I wake up dreamin' again
And, oh, the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how o make this dream come true

Close my eyes and your love, like a warm rain,
Washes over me

Maybe there's another place
Some other time or space
I never have to leave something to believe
Maybe love will find a way
And this time come to stay
Another way to be if love could just find me

But I wake up dreamin' again
And, oh, the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how o make this dream come true


9.Feel The Groove(LP Version)

Lyricist:Gordon DewittySam Clayton
Writer(s):Gordon DewittySam Clayton
Mixing:Gordon Dewitty

Don't you know
It's the way you go
You can get further
Sure can be murder

Try to hard
That ain't so smart
First you start trippin'
Then you start slipping

I, I like peace of mind
Leaving my troubles
In the wind behind

I like grooving'
Doin' what I do
If you like to feel good
Can you feel the groove

Can't you see
What your trying to be
You can never make it
If you try and fake it

Pick and choose
Win or lose
You can last longer
If you're a little bit stronger

Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You ought to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You ought to feel the groove

Negative
Attitdes
Like a fire that's burning
all the things you should be learning

And positive
Attitdes
Help you in growing
Towards the things you should be knowing

I, I like peace of mind
Leaving my troubles
In the wind behind

I like grooving'
Doin' what I do
If you feel good
Can you feel the groove

Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You ought to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You ought to feel the groove

You'll never make it
If you fake it
You got to feel the groove

You'll never make it
If you fake it
You ought to feel the groove
You'll never make it
If you fake it
You got to feel the groove
You'll never make it
If you fake it
You ought to feel the groove

Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You ought to feel the groove
Feel the groove
You got to feel the groove
