(Cash Savage)
One boy never wanted it
but it was pinned on anyway
A life of toil and hardship
and he never had a say
The first boy would have wanted it
but he never had a chance
Only carried half the family name
so they never even asked
Their father was a mean man
Took everything he could
Took every love he had for granted
His kids they never understood
But hey he could work the land
When the land was at its hardest
Saw his neighbours fall and bite the dust
Like his love to their young mother
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce
Two boys had young families
but were never gonna stay
So when they got the money up
they took their young families away
Living on a state line
as far as poor boys can be
They keep their young families close
Planting two brand new family trees
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce
Now the youngest holds a grudge against
his mother walking out that day
And there's a new man on the family land
The brothers never had no say
The oldest keeps his mouth shut
about the farm he wanted as his home
He says if no-one ever wanted it,
who cares now that it's gone?
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce
