Intro

One Verse Instrumental

 Watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows,

 Feel the / trickle in your / clothes, blow the / dustcake from your / nose.

 Hear the / tractor's steady / roar, oh you / can't stop / now,

 There's a / quarter section / more or less to / go. / / and

 It / figures that the / rain keeps it's / own sweet / time,

 You can / watch it come for / miles, but you / guess you've got a / while.

 So ease the / throttle out a / hair, every / rod's a / gain,

 There's / victory in / every quarter / mile. /

Chorus one

 Poor old / Kuzyk down the / road,

 The / heartache, hail, and / hoppers brought him / down.

 He gave it / up and went to / town, / / and

 Emmet / Pierce, the other / day, /

 Took a / heart attack and / died at forty - / two.

 You could / see it coming / on, 'cause he / worked as hard as / you. / / / /

 In an / hour, maybe / more, you'll be / wet clear / through,

 The / air is cooler / now, pull your / hat brim further / down, and

 Watch the / field behind the / plow turn to / straight dark / rows.

 Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground /

Break

 And if the / harvest's any / good,

 The / money just might / cover all the / loans.

 You've / mortgaged all you / own, / - buy the kids a winter / coat.

 Take the / wife back east for / Christmas if you / can.

 All / summer she hangs / on, when you're / so tied to the / land. / / / /

 For the / good times come and / go, but at / least there's / rain.

 So this / won't be barren / ground, when Sep - / tember rolls a- / round,

 So watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows.

 Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground. /

 Watch the / field behind the / plow, turn to / straight dark / rows.

 Put a - / nother season's / promise in the / ground. /
