LyricMeaning

Ache'n For Acres
Arrested Development

Yes, indeedy sho' 'nuff needy

I got the feeling to stretch on out

My children are cryin', my elders are dying

And me I'm relying on a check for rent


If I gotta be broke, then ain't no joke

I'm moving to the country and buying some land

And I'll be alright if I can rest at night

Knowing my children got land to stand on


Ache'n for acres plenty of acres

Money spent in rent ain't earning me cent

Ain't gettin' no Caddy, no Benz, no Jeep

Until I got some and for some land to keep


No more children crying instead they'll be running

Running free and wild in the heat of the sun

'Cuz once I'm gone I wanna feel strong

That my children will go on, family land and all sayin'


I got some land to stand on, no more ache'n for acres

No beggin' for leftovers, got some space of my own

I got grounds to raise on, no more ache'n for acres

No more giving to takers, got some land to leave on


No more elders passin' without my kids askin'

Papa who's tombstones are those in the yard

Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close

Ache'n for acres for buildin' a nation


Ain't about depending on government spendin'

Especially when the government's got a plan of their own

Separate from me, separate from you

Separate from most, in sync with a few


Ache'n for acres plenty of acres

My grandpappa had 'em all but he lost 'em and he sold 'em

The cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older

Little did he know that his land was valuable


Got land to stand on then you can stand up

Stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man

Man o' man my choices expand

Ain't got me no money but I got me some land


I got some land to stand on, no more ache'n for acres

No beggin' for leftovers, got some space of my own

I got grounds to raise on, no more ache'n for acres

No more giving to takers, got some land to leave on, yeah
