about

Dedicated to my grandfather Richard Samuelson and old timers everywhere.

lyrics

Residing in the house
That great grandaddy built
A life's lesson worth savings
Down at the gravel pits
Passed down an old double barrel
And genes that never quit
A few miles west of 78
And north of highway 6

He's an old timer
Floatin' through time

Same old truck last 20 years
Silverado 1993
Found employment on the assembly line
Building tractors in Moline
Made enough to keep the farm that he'd known
Since he was a boy
320 acres
Henry County, Illinois

He's an old timer
Talking about Jesus and John Deere
Says he's storing treasures in Heaven
Cuz, pretty soon he's leaving here
From the greatest generation of the greatest nation
The worlds ever known
He's an old timer, an old timer, an old timer
Floatin' through time

He said our family plot
Well that's where us paupers lay
Because, ya can't buy your way to Heaven
With a rich man's grave
Lord willing I'll be buried up on that hill some day
The hay fields blowin' and the oak trees sing

For that old timer,
Talkin' bout Jesus and John Deere
Says he's storin' treasures in Heaven
Cuz, pretty soon he's leavin' here
From the greatest generation of the greatest nation
The world's ever known, ever known
He's an old timer, an old timer, old timer,
Floatin' through time,
An old timer, an old timer, an old timer,
Floatin' through time,
An old timer
Floatin' through time

Hey, Seth here,

Thank you for your support (whoever and where-ever you are).

It's no easy time to be in the music game, but we all keep on out here because the songs don't stop.

Please check out my band Harvest Sons as well, and look for more song releases in 2021 from both camps.

And if you're one of my music students, make time to practice!

Cheers!
Seth ... more
