lyrics

Someday I’ll have that buffalo ranch
Right there on the beach
Where I’ll surf all day and come home late
To the fields where the buffalo eat

I’m gonna marry rich
And then learn how to love
When she’s out working I’ll be home tinkering
In a barn full of old trucks

Just don’t make me stand still
Don’t make me stand still
When I’m old and bald and my hands grow moss
And there’s roots through the soles of my shoes
Don’t make me stand still

It’s been a good year
My favorite fingernail finally grew back
I’ve seen the world every river town
Through the seat of this kayak

But no one gives a damn for old timers
And the money still runs dry
That’s why a man needs a dog and a plot of land
To raise some buffalo high

Just don’t make me stand still
Don’t make me stand still...
When I’m old and bald and my hands grow moss
And there’s roots through the soles of my shoes
Don’t make me stand still

Oh mama where did the buffalo go
And oh mama can’t we take two of them home
Just a boy and a girl
And we’ll leave them alone for a while

They ask me when I’m gonna quit
And I say what the hell does that mean
Cause when you grow up on a farm in Arkansas
There’s just work and nothing between

But somewhere there’s a buffalo ranch
And I swear to you it’s on the beach
Where you can surf all day and come home late
To the fields where the buffalo eat

Just don’t make me stand still
Don’t make me stand still...
When I’m old and bald and my hands grow moss
And there’s roots through the soles of my shoes
You can shoot me
Just don’t make me stand still

There is something that happens inside a good song. A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; the voice of a toothless refrigerator man reminds you to say “I love you.” Jenner Fox tells the stories of people and places with unparalleled compassion and respect. His artful tone, poetry, and fluency on his guitar do something only the brave ones do: let us in. ... more
