[Verse 1]
G D Pickin' wasn't easy Cadd9 G Kept you brown and thin Cadd9 G Been a child for every season Am D7 That the fruit was on the limb
[Verse 2]
G D Pack the truck, Maria Cadd9 G Tell the kids we're off again Cadd9 G Cross a dozen states or more Am7 We'll teach 'em what we can
[Bridge]
Am7 Teach 'em what we can D7 We can't do more Am7 The land is good D7 But still the livin's poor
[Verse 3]
G D Harvest in September Cadd9 G Drought in mid-July Cadd9 G January's peeking Am7 D7 Through a white lace gypsy sky
[Verse 4]
G D March rolls into April Cadd9 G Then plant and pray for rain Cadd9 G Sweat like hell in August Am7 Run the circle once again

Am7 Run the circle once again D And then once more Am7 The land is good D But still the livin's poor
[Interlude]

[Outro]
Am7 D7 Do it anyway to keep alive Am7 D7 Do it anyway to keep alive
