This Hard Land
|
|
Hey there mister can you tell me
|
What happened to the seeds I've sown
|
Can you give me a reason sir
|
As to why they've never grown
|
They've just blown around, from town to town
|
Back out on these fields
|
Where they fall from my hand
|
Back into the dirt of this hard land
|
|
Well, me and my sister
|
From Germantown we did ride
|
We made our bed sir
|
From the rock on the moutainside
|
We been blowin' around, from town to town
|
Lookin' for a place to stand
|
Where the sun burst through the clouds
|
And falls like a circle
|
A circle of fire on this hard land
|
|
Now even the rain, it don't come 'round
|
Don't come 'round here no more
|
And the only sound at night's the wind
|
Slammin' the back porch door
|
Yeah it stirs you up
|
Like it wants to blow you down
|
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
|
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
|
In the dirt of this hard land
|
|
From a building up on the hill
|
I can hear a tape deck blastin' Home on the Range
|
I can hear them Bar M choppers
|
Sweepin' low across the plains
|
It's me and you Frank
|
We're lookin' for lost cattle
|
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
|
We're ridin' in the whirlwind, searchin' for lost treasure
|
Way down south of the Rio Grande
|
We're ridin' across that river in the moonlight
|
Up onto the banks of this hard land
|
|
Hey Frank, won't you pack your bags
|
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
|
Just one kiss from you my brother
|
And we'll ride until we fall
|
We'll sleep in the fields
|
We'll sleep by the rivers
|
And in the morning we'll make a plan
|
Well If you can't make it..Stay Hard
|
Stay Hungry, Stay Alive if you Can
|
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
|
|
