Charley Pride - Down on the Farm lyrics

rate me

Looking back a hundred years

On daughters and sons of the land

Who're standing here holding a fistful of dirt

Watching it slip through my hands.

See the field of sweat and tears

Where we labored in love

We cussed the wind and we prayed for rain

But never thought of giving it up.

Oh, down on the farm

Oh, somebody's dreams are ending

When a way of life can be auctioned off

There's more than one fence that needs mending.

It looks like to me this country still needs

A muscle and two strong arms

If we can send a man up to the moon

We can keep a man down on the farm.

Starring out of this factory window

Trying to make sense of it all

I remember on this very spot corn standing ten feet tall

America, America, who do we blame it on?

It was only the family fund, who really cares if it's gone.

Oh, down on the farm

Oh, somebody's dreams are ending

When a way of life can be auctioned off

There's more than one fence that needs mending.

It looks like to me this country still needs

A muscle and two strong arms

If we can send a man up to the moon

We can keep a man down on the farm.

America, America, who do we blame it on?...
