Song Written by Tom Troyer and performed live in studio by Farewell Friend
(ASCAP)

lyrics

All the sheep had twinkle lights around their necks.
You say that’s odd and I agree.
But nah look there’s a whole line of em dancing in the rainbow hues;
Such a pretty little solar system,
Yeah this exit could be ours,
Yeah the livestock like to bring their own tiny little stars.
Cause grandma said we’re either rising up or we’re going home
and we’re going home y’all we’re going home strong and tall.
Cause the diner ain’t done until the dishes are dry
and the silver is tucked in the drawer
and that’s about the time that the trouble ain’t gonna be trouble no
more.
All the bills were paid and the tracks were laid
and the family were close at hand.
All the colors from the twinkle lights
setting sun, window sill, red clay dirt, and the chocolate earth
they were dancing.
They were dancing their way on home
like the moon.
Cause grandma said we’re either rising up or we’re going home
and we’re going home y’all we’re going home strong and tall.
Cause the diner ain’t done until the dishes are dry
and the silver is tucked in the drawer
and that’s about the time that the trouble ain’t gonna be trouble no
more.
All the sheep had twinkle lights around their necks
but I told you that one already.
And the town’s people they were going home by their own way.
It’s the simple little things keeping me sleeping at night.
It’s the tiny little things keep me dripping from my eyelids.
But it’s time for waking up.
Yeah it’s time to go to work again
in case the crazies try and go elect a wolf again.
Cause grandma said we’re either rising up or we’re going home
and we’re going home y’all we’re going home strong and tall.
Cause the diner ain’t done until the dishes are dry
and the silver is tucked in the drawer
and that’s about the time that the trouble ain’t gonna be trouble no
more
