All over Northern New York out in the country north of the Adirondacks when driving down the rural roads you'll see broken down farms collapsed barns and fences fallen down abandoned. This song starts from there and gets very ponderous as we get closer to closing time.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Somebody loved that old truck,
Lyin’ in the woods half rotten
Somebody loved that old truck,
Now they’re lyin’ dead forgotten

Chorus:
If I could be at home,
be at home runnin’ free
If I could be at home runnin’ free
Where somebody loved me
Where somebody loved me

Verse 2:
Somebody loved that old dog
Now the old dog’s dead and gone
Somebody loved that old dog
And they play that old dog a song

Chorus:
If I could be at home,
be at home runnin’ free
If I could be at home runnin’ free
Where somebody loved me
Where somebody loved me

Verse 3:
Momma poppa, they’ve both died
they’ve got graves up on the hillside
I like to rest there sometimes in my mind
With my memories

Verse 4:
This all we’re ever gonna have
This is all we’re ever gonna find
This is all we’re ever gonna see
And it’s comin’ on closin’ time
It’s comin’ on closin’ time

Chorus:
If I could be at home,
be at home runnin’ free
If I could be at home runnin’ free
Where somebody loved me
Where somebody loved me

Verse 5:
Somebody loved that old house
Now the roof’s been all caved in
Somebody loved that old house and they
Never will again

Chorus:
If I could be at home,
be at home runnin’ free
If I could be at home runnin’ free
Where somebody loved me
Where somebody loved me
