[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 D 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]

[Bridge 2]
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
