Best Blueberry Patch Around

I’m seated on the back deck
lawyer’s letter in my hand
Waves slap inside the crab pools
gulls coast above the sand
It’s a good day to be living
got sunshine on my face
Bees dance about the boxwood
a heavenly kinda place
Jill comes through the beach grass
a banjo on her arm
She has blueberry muffins
and home brew from the farm
I say, cuz Jill, how are you?
she says, not bad and you?
I say, worse for the lawyers
if they start to turn the screw
When I pray, I say Amen
Hope such a day comes back again
Don’t have plenty, but I’m not broke
Rather drown than go up'n smoke
Lobster shells and bareback ponies
Mean showed up and blew right through me
At hot day’s end I wrote this song
Carved in sand to right all wrong
Blueberries come from Nova Scotia
Cousin Jill I’m gonna tell ya
If that developer comes near me
Fetch the ponies and set them free
They’ve another thing coming
if they think I’ll sell this land
My granddaddy before me
built the house and farm by hand
City lawyers can make their threats
offer condos all round town
I raised my family here
so I won’t be backing down
I don’t care about golfers
or the nearby lobster pound
This is a horse and pony farm
best blueberry patch around
When I pray, I say Amen
Hope such a day comes back again
Don’t have plenty, but I’m not broke
Rather drown than go up'n smoke
Lobster shells and bareback ponies
Mean showed up and blew right through me
At hot day’s end I wrote this song
Carved in sand to right all wrong
Blueberries come from Nova Scotia
Cousin Jill I’m gonna tell ya
If that developer comes near me
Fetch the ponies and set them free
No cuz
I won’t lay low
those hard heads just won’t let go
Yeah cuz
I’ll hold my ground
best blueberry patch for miles around
