[Verse 1]
    Em      D     C   
For sale by owner sign 
    Em            D
on Highway fifty-nine
         Em     D     
A signal of the times, 
   C              Em  D
a turning of the page
      Em         D       C   
There used to be nothing here,
           Em          D
 but that nothing disappeared
    D                   Em  
The pond, the barn, the farm, 
      D           C       
the fields have long since
          Em    D
 been replaced
C                        
Asphalt parking where that
  Am                  Em
 ten pew Pentecostal stood
C                     
Fast food, four lanes, 
       Am                 Em
and a subdivided neighborhood

[Chorus]
G                     
The walls of the world
             Em
 are closin’ in
The spreadin’ city 
            C
spreads us thin
              G           
Till we can\'t seem to make
     Am               Em   D
 our ends meet in the black
G                       
I never would\'ve thought
             Em
 it wouldn\'t last
                              C
A way of life that time moved past
       G                Am     
What I wouldn\'t give to have
          Em    G
 the back forty back

[Verse 2]
Em          D      C   Em     
Maybe I’m a sucker for knowing 
                D
who lives next door
            Em           
A view from my back porch,
    C                  Em  D
 a pinch of peace and quiet
            Em       D      
I can’t get back the used to
 C          Em             D
 be’s, so I hang on to the
 D
 memories
                           Em
Of when I could still look up 
             C       
and see the stars not
                Em    D
 street lights shining

[Chorus]
G                     
The walls of the world
             Em
 are closin’ in
                              C
The spreadin’ city spreads us thin
              G           
Till we can\'t seem to make 
     Am               Em   D
our ends meet in the black
G                       
I never would\'ve thought
             Em
 it wouldn\'t last
                              C
A way of life that time moved past
       G                Am  
What I wouldn\'t give to have
             Em    G
 the back forty back

[Post-Chorus]
G                       
Now, I get that progress
         Em
 has its place
                          C
And no regard for what it takes
              G            
Wish it would slow its pace,
      Am              Em   D
 and cut us all some slack
G                       
‘Cause it’s all changing 
         Em
way too fast
                       
A way of life that time
       C
 moved past
       G                Am     
What I wouldn\'t give to have
          Em    G
 the back forty back
