This Hard Land
Hey there mister can you tell me
What happened to the seeds I've sown
Can you give me a reason sir
As to why they've never grown
They've just blown around, from town to town
Back out on these fields
Where they fall from my hand
Back into the dirt of this hard land
Well, me and my sister
From Germantown we did ride
We made our bed sir
From the rock on the moutainside
We been blowin' around, from town to town
Lookin' for a place to stand
Where the sun burst through the clouds
And falls like a circle
A circle of fire on this hard land
Now even the rain, it don't come 'round
Don't come 'round here no more
And the only sound at night's the wind
Slammin' the back porch door
Yeah it stirs you up
Like it wants to blow you down
Twistin' and churnin' up the sand
Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down
In the dirt of this hard land
From a building up on the hill
I can hear a tape deck blastin' Home on the Range
I can hear them Bar M choppers
Sweepin' low across the plains
It's me and you Frank
We're lookin' for lost cattle
Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand
We're ridin' in the whirlwind, searchin' for lost treasure
Way down south of the Rio Grande
We're ridin' across that river in the moonlight
Up onto the banks of this hard land
Hey Frank, won't you pack your bags
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
Just one kiss from you my brother
And we'll ride until we fall
We'll sleep in the fields
We'll sleep by the rivers
And in the morning we'll make a plan
Well If you can't make it..Stay Hard
Stay Hungry, Stay Alive if you Can
And meet me in a dream of this hard land
