Hi Scott,
I've never heard the pothole phrase, though I think I know what you mean.
Great story in this song but it seems really long with alot of filler lines that seem unnecessasay and don't add much to the song.

Daddy bought a little dairy farm
With an asphalt roof and a rickity barn
Had a dirt floor cellar, home to every curious mouse..
Daddy never spent his golden years
With his family cause his time drew near

Tryin' to beat the rain
Stock a few bales of hay
On a cloudy day..
Save some potholes for the kids

I grew up and moved 2000 miles away
After fifteen years of livin' in L.A.
I bought mama's place, devised a plan
Put my daddys dream right in my hands
Yea back home I collected rain run off
Measured snow melt from the hill tops
Made a livin' as I perserved that land
As I grow old, those old growths stand
