BAXTER HILL
Years ago grandaddy Baxter gave dad 40 acres
Daddy proudly named it Baxter Hill
Him and Mom raised seven kids
And gave us each 1 acre
In hopes someday that's where we all would build
Daddy's greatest dream in life was Baxter Hill
The rest all moved away but
I stayed on with mom and daddy
But they all gathered in when Mama died
They were quick decidin'papa couldn't handle bizness
And the six of them all said let's subdivide
You could see them dollar bill signs in their eyes
Chorus I
Yeah, They subdivided daddy's 40 acres
The place where him and mama worked and saved
Not out of need, just out of greed
They built them six room houses
Bet mama's turnin' over in her grave
Just knowin' they've done papa thisaway
Well, they agreed that I could keep
The acre papa gave me
So I left that old house standin'where it was
And just a few days later
Them big old yellow graders
Started pushing up the ground my daddy loved
Tearin' up everything that he'd dreamed of
Now papa didn't say much
He just sat there on the front porch
And watched them big bulldozers rape his fields
He'd look straight ahead
And say I know your mama's dead
But she'll be comin' back to Baxter Hill
And she'll rattle chains in every room they build
Chorus . .
Yeah, they subdidvided daddy's 40 acres
But the houses stand there empty,cold and still
They sold a few, but the people moved
And swore they'd never come back
Papa just grins and says they never will
While your Mama walks on Baxter Hill
Yeah, Mama walks at night on Baxter Hill
Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter active from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s. Considered one of the most colorful figures in country music history, Young achieved success with songs like «If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')» and «Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young», establishing him as a honky tonk artist both in sound and lifestyle. However, his vocal versatility was also evident in chart-topping singles such as «Hello Walls» and «It's Four In The Morning». Known as the «Hillbilly Heartthrob» and, after a film role, as the «Singing Sheriff», Young consistently charted for over 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. In 2016, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
