Forgiveness And Rain

(アルバム： Longcut - 2022)

I grew up out in the country
On my daddy's Tobacco farm
If had his family feeding habits
Then that weighed heavy on his heart
My uncle Jake, he liked Camel menthols
Two packs a day until he died
I think my daddy took it hardest
Was the only time I saw him cry

He said son I make a living
Off them crops out in the field
If it ain't me who plants them seeds
There's someone else who will
The way I justify it
They're gonna buy it either way
I don't smoke it, I just grow it
And I pray for forgiveness and rain

Nowadays in Haakon County
Tobacco fields, they are hard to find
Blame it on the surgeon general
But it's diversify or die
Now you got cotton, and you got kettle
You got corn and you got me
It ain't legal what I'm growing
But I got hungry mouths to feed

And I just make a living
Off them crops out in the field
If it ain't me who plants them seeds
There's someone else who will
The way I justify it
They're gonna buy it either way
I don't smoke it, I just grow it
And I pray for forgiveness and rain

And there's two things I don't wanna see
That's a drought, a DEA
I don't smoke it, I just grow it
And I pray for forgiveness and rain
