Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
E
Well the banker man said we can't borrow no more
D A E
Well the feed man ?? there will be no more corn
E
There's not a bale in the loft, my cows skinny as a rail
D A E
Well the pasture's are brown, this place looks like hell
[Chorus]
D E
But I keep workin this land, there's no rest for the broke
D E
I beg the banker man to defer another note
D E
Grounds too wet, it's too damn dry
D E
My tractor just sits cause the diesel's too high
G A
Can't afford hay, I guess I'll sell my cattle
E
I think this time around could be more than I can handle
[Verse 2]
E
That's when the thangs was lookin up and in the spring it come a flood
D A E
Well it turned this prime farm ground into Mississippi mud
E
And in the summer came a sun, yeah and it dried up all the rain
D A E
And it didn't quit shinin' till it burned up everything
[Chorus]
D E
But I keep workin this land, there's no rest for the broke
D E
I beg the banker man to defer another note
D E
Grounds too wet, it's too damn dry
D E
My tractor just sits cause the diesel's too high
G A
Can't afford hay, I guess I'll sell my cattle
E
I think this time around could be more than I can handle
[Verse 3]
E
Meanwhile the bills keep stackin up, collectors call me everyday
D A E
Well I'm in too deep to walk away and let the bank take everything
E
Well all I need is one good year, I'll dig myself out of the ditch
D A E
Well my daddy made it look easy but lately farmin's been a bitch
[Chorus]
D E
But I keep workin this land, there's no rest for the broke
D E
I beg the banker man to defer another note
D E
Grounds too wet, it's too damn dry
D E
My tractor just sits cause the diesel's too high
G A
Can't afford hay, I guess I'll sell my cattle
E
I think this time around could be more than I can handle
[Verse 4]
E
Well I can hear my daddy now, he'd kick the dirt and cuss the ground
D A E
He'd say "Someday ?? this farm will break a man down"
E
Lookin back on it now, well I only wish I woulda listened
D A E
Instead of saddlin' my life into this agricultural prison
[Chorus]
D E
But I keep workin this land, there's no rest for the broke
D E
I beg the banker man to defer another note
D E
Grounds too wet, it's too damn dry
D E
My tractor just sits cause the diesel's too high
G A
Can't afford hay, I guess I'll sell my cattle
E
I think this time around could be more than I can handle
Well I think this time around might be more than I can handle
