The old man loaded up everything that he owned in a wagon and headed out
west
The old woman fearless to face the unkown cause she figured he knew what
was best
And they settled down hard on a government grant, with 6 mouths to feed
and 40
And the rain came down
Like an angel sent down from above
And the Rain came down
Well once it starts there aint never enough
Fall turn to Winter another year gone over and over again
Some took their lives from the land and moved on some stayed on to plow
it back in
And the Good Lord He giveth and He taketh away
And the restless shall go and the faithfull shall stay
REPEAT CHORUS
Well my grandfather died in the room he was born in 23 summers ago
this mornin' when the sheriff showed up at my door
So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man
Cause you can have the machines but you aint taken my land
Repeat Chorus
