I worked the land to raise a family Til I was weary to the bone But hard labor never bothered me Lord it's all I've ever knownToo many seasons of calamity And too much interest on the loan I'm half the size that I used to be And half of that is stoneThe crops ain't worth the seeding 10 will only get you 5 The livestock I'ma feedin' I can hardly keep 'em alive I gotta do what I can to surviveI know the law won't be forgiving But that'll be the choice I made I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing tradeThe summer beauty of the cotton field Was like a view from Heaven's door My granddaddy said that harvest time Was what the good Lord made us forI guess he'd wonder where's the dignity In a crop you raise to burn But this land is my legacy I got nowhere else to turnShotgun on my shoulder Where a tote sack oughta be The thieves are getting bolder And the feds may be watchin' me I gotta quit this eventuallyI know the law won't be forgiving But that'll be the choice I made I used to farm for a living But now I'm in the growing tradeHelicopters in the distance Coming closer everyday They're gonna meet some resistance Aint no price I wouldn't pay There won't be any difference When they take it all away Between a cot in the jail house And a bed beneath the clay I guess there's nothing to do now but prayI know the law won't be forgiving But that'll be the choice I made I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing trade
