[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

That's when the thangs was lookin up and in the spring it come a flood

Meanwhile the bills keep stackin up, collectors call me everyday

Well all I need is one good year, I'll dig myself out of the ditch

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]
