Field Behind The Plow
(专辑: Northwest Passage - 1981)
Watch the
field behind the
plow turn to straight, dark rows Feel the
trickle in your clothes, blow the
dust cake 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 its 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 And there's victory in every quarter mile Poor old Kuzyk down the
road The
heartache, hail and hoppers brought him down He gave it up and went to town And Emmett 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 you hat brim further down And watch the
field behind the
plow turn to straight dark rows Put another season's promise in the
ground 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 September rolls around So watch the
field behind the
plow turn to straight dark rows Put another season's promise in the
ground Watch the
field behind the
plow turn to straight dark rows Put another season's promise in the
ground
