The song is referring to the 1950s-era Air Force phrase that means “to be killed in action” or “to crash,” and alludes to the desire of many wartime pilots to return home, buy a farm, and live peacefully.
[Verse 1]
Bought myself a farm way out in the country
Took to growin' lettuce, milkin' cows and honey
Bought myself a farm way out in the country
[Verse 2]
Bought myself a farm way out in the country
Spent time in the hayloft with the mice and the bunnies
Spent time in the country
[Chorus]
Yes, it's good livin' on the farm
Oh so good livin' on the farm
You know it's so good livin' on the farm
[Verse 3]
Here comes my next door neighbor, comin' down the road
He always looks so regal ridin' on his toad
Named Lightnin'
[Verse 4]
The toad's name is Lightnin', he's ten hands at the shoulder
And if you give him sugar, you know he'll whinny like a boulder
Yes, he will
[Chorus]
Yes, it's good livin' on the farm
Oh so good livin' on the farm
You know it's so good livin' on this farm
[Verse 5]
Well, I gotta get back to work now and clear away some logs
Ah, the sun is shinin' westwards
Yeah, I think I'll saddle up my frog and get out of here
[Chorus]
Yes, it's good livin' on the farm
Oh so good livin' on the farm
You know it's so good here livin' on this farm
[Outro]
Oh so good on my farm
It feels good livin' on the farm
It feels good when you comin' to see me
Know it's good on the farm
You know it's good on the farm
Out on the farm, yeah
Know it's good, good on the farm
Yes, it's good livin' on the farm
Oh so good livin' on the farm
Yes, it's good livin' on the farm
Livin' on the farm
