Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

West Texas forecast, more of the same

Sunny and mild, no chance of rain

That old John Deere Tractor ain't moved in days,

 Oh, But he's out there climbin' back on

 'Cause he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone.

She stares out the window fightin' back tears

And watches him wastin' his time in the fields

They're havin' problems payin' the bills

Oh, and she knows that it won't be long before the bank finally places a lien on the farm

Chorus

 And the tractor keeps rollin', the dust rises high

 Creating the only Cloud in the sky

He's holdin' his ground, but It's gettin' tough

 He's keepin' his faith in the Lord up above

 And prayin' for rain through a cloud of dust.

repeat intro

VERSE 2.

Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye

The old hardware store had a help wanted sign

He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by

'Cause he just can't bare to let go

After all it's the only life he's ever known

repeat chorus x2.

West Texas forecast, more of the same

Sunny and mild, no chance of rain
