v.1

A dozen brothers in a new domain

Laying German roots on the Kansas plains

Crossed the Flint Hills to give a look

Dropped the plow in the dirt near Shadybrook

My great grandpa was one of the twelve

Carved a piece of the prairie all for themselves

And there they proudly placed their bet

You can’t beat a Kansas sunset

Chorus

The tracks run out and the trains roll through

The family business is what we do.

The roots run deep on the ground we plow

Been doing it over a century now

Makin’ money running trains on the plains

Taking pride in the family name

The more things change the more they stay the same

In my little home on the range

v2.

I’m 5th generation running old steel wheels

Iron horses run wild through waving wheat fields

My family handled that freight with care

And my daddy proudly led me there

As the last in line I ended our reign

After a lifetime driving the crazy train.

Looking back on the places I have been

With the people of the south wind.

Chorus

The tracks run out and the trains roll through

The family business is what we do.

The roots run deep on the ground we plow

Been doing it over a century now

Makin’ money running trains on the plains

Taking pride in the family name

The more things change the more they stay the same

In my little home on the range

Play out

The more things change the more they stay the same

I’m proud of my last name

And my little home on the range

My little home on the range
