I worked the land to raise a family |
| [00:13.310] |
Til I was weary to the bone |
| [00:18.760] |
But hard labor never bothered me |
| [00:22.200] |
Lord it's all I've ever known |
| [00:26.370] |
Too many seasons of calamity |
| [00:30.670] |
And too much interest on the loan |
| [00:36.060] |
I'm half the size that I used to be |
| [00:39.950] |
And half of that is stone |
| [00:44.760] |
The crops ain't worth the seeding10 will only get you 5 |
| [00:53.410] |
The live stock I'm a feeding |
| [00:56.720] |
I can hardly keep 'em alive |
| [01:00.970] |
I gotta do what I can to survive |
| [01:07.710] |
I know the law won't be forgiving |
| [01:12.200] |
But that'll be the choice I made |
| [01:16.100] |
I used to farm for a living |
| [01:21.010] |
And now I'm in the growing trade |
| [01:33.800] |
The summer beauty of the cotton field |
| [01:37.950] |
Was like a view from Heaven's door |
| [01:43.300] |
My granddaddy said that harvest time |
| [01:46.590] |
Was what the good Lord made us for |
| [01:50.790] |
I guess he'd wonder where's the dignity |
| [01:55.240] |
In a crop you raise to burn |
| [02:00.310] |
But this land is my legacy |
| [02:03.730] |
I got nowhere else to turn |
| [02:09.160] |
Shotgun on my shoulder |
| [02:12.450] |
Where a tote sack oughta be |
| [02:17.590] |
The thieves are getting bolder |
| [02:20.750] |
And the feds may be watching me |
| [02:24.990] |
I gotta quit this eventually |
| [02:31.580] |
I know the law won't be forgiving |
| [02:36.000] |
But that'll be the choice I made |
| [02:40.010] |
I used to farm for a living |
| [02:44.890] |
But now I'm in the growing trade |
| [02:50.840] |
Helicopters in the distance |
| [02:55.090] |
Coming closer everyday |
| [02:59.510] |
They're gonna meet some resistance |
| [03:03.360] |
Aint no price I wouldn't pay |
| [03:08.590] |
There won't be any difference |
| [03:11.900] |
When they take it all away |
| [03:16.930] |
Between a cot in the jail house |
| [03:20.240] |
And a bed beneath the clay |
| [03:24.500] |
I guess there's nothing to do now but pray |
| [03:30.970] |
I know the law won't be forgiving |
| [03:35.630] |
But that'll be the choice I made |
| [03:39.560] |
I used to farm for a living |
| [03:44.300] |
And now I'm in the growing trade |
| [03:50.110] |
I used to farm for a living |
| [03:54.340] |
And now I'm in the growing trade |
