[Verse 1]
G D C G
Watch the field behind the plow turn to straight, dark rows
Am C D
Feel the trickle in your clothes, blow the dust cake from your nose
G D C G
Hear the tractor's steady roar, Oh you can't stop now
Am D G
There's a quarter section more or less to go
[Verse 2]
G D C G
And it figures that the rain keeps its own sweet time
Am C D
You can watch it come for miles, but you guess you've got a while
G D C G
So ease the throttle out a hair, every rod's a gain
Am D7 G
And there's victory in every quarter mile
[Bridge 1]
D
Poor old Kuzyk down the road
Em C G
The heartache, hail and hoppers brought him down
Am D
He gave it up and went to town
D
And Emmett Pierce the other day
Em C G
Took a heart attack and died at forty two
Am D C Am
You could see it coming on 'cause he worked as hard as you
[Verse 3]
G D C G
In an hour, maybe more, you'll be wet clear through
Am C D
The air is cooler now, pull your hat brim further down
G D C G
And watch the field behind the plow turn to straight, dark rows
Am D G
Put another season's promise in the ground
[Interlude]

D
And if the harvest's any good
Em C G
The money just might cover all the loans
Am D
You've mortgaged all you own
D
Buy the kids a winter coat
Em C G
Take the wife back east for Christmas if you can
Am D C Am
All summer she hangs on when you're so tied to the land
[Verse 4]
G D C G
For the good times come and go, but at least there's rain
Am C D
So this won't be barren ground when September rolls around
G D C G
So watch the field behind the plow turn to straight, dark rows
Am D G
Put another season's promise in the ground
[Outro]
G D C G
Watch the field behind the plow turn to straight, dark rows
Am D G
Put another season's promise in the ground
