|
He gets up before the dawn |
|
Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee |
|
It's another day in the dusty haze |
|
Those burnin' rays are wearing down his body |
|
And diesel's worth the price of gold |
|
It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold |
|
But he's still holding on |
|
He just takes the tractor another round |
|
And pulls the plow across the ground |
|
And sends up another prayer |
|
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask whyBut please don't let my dream to run dryUnderneath, underneath this Amarillo sky" |
|
That hailstorm back in '83 |
|
Sure did take a toll on his family |
|
But he stayed strong and carried on |
|
Just like his dad and granddad did before him |
|
On his knees, every night he prays"Please let my crops and children grow"' |
|
Cause that's all he's ever known |
|
He just takes the tractor another round |
|
And pulls the plow across the ground |
|
And sends up another prayer |
|
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask whyBut please don't let my dream run dryUnderneath, underneath this Amarillo sky" |
|
And he takes the tractor another round |
|
Another round, another round |
|
And he takes the tractor another round |
|
Another round |
|
He says, "I never complain, I never ask whyBut please don't let my dreams run dryUnderneath, underneath this Amarillo sky" |
|
Underneath this |
|
Amarillo sky |
