paroles de chanson New Home - Eric Bibb

I′m buildin' a new home ′cross the county line (2x)
Up on a high hill where the view's so fine
Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine (2x)
I'm goin′ up the country where it taste liked cherry wine
I made a piece of money, but I won′t say how (2x)
Bought my own forty acres –
My own mule an' breakin′ plough
Bought my own forty acres –
Don't have to scrape an′ bow
I'm buildin′ a new home ...
I heard a voice talkin' like a radio in my head (2x)
I'm about to tell you just what it said:
I′ll put your feet on solid ground, by an′ by (2x)
When the river gets to risin' you′ll be high an' dry
I′m buildin' a new home ′cross the county line (2x)
Up on a high hill where the view's so fine
Up on a high hill – leave this ol' shack behind
