Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, 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 to these fields Where they fall from, from my hand Back into the dirt of this hard land (Come on) [Verse 2] Now me and my sister From Germantown, yeah, we did ride And we made our bed, sir From the rock on the mountainside We've been blowin' around from town to town Lookin' for a place to land Where the sun could break through the clouds and fall like a circle A circle of fire down on this hard land [Verse 3] Well now, even the rain it don't come 'round Don't come 'round here no more And the only sound of the night's the wind Slammin' that back-porch door Yeah, it stirs you up like it wants to just blow you down Twistin' and churnin' up the sand Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down Into the dirt of this hard land [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] Well, from a building up on the hill I hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range" And I can hear them Bar-M choppers Sweepin' low across the plains And it's me and you, Frank, we're lookin' for lost cattle Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand Yeah, we're ridin' in the whirlwind, searchin' for a treasure Way down south of the Rio Grande We're ridin' 'cross that river in the moonlight Yeah, up onto the banks of this hard land [Verse 5] Well hey Frank, won't you pack your bags And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall? Oh, just one kiss from you, my brother And we'll ride until we fall We'll sleep out 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 (Oh) [Harmonica Solo]
