Song Description

An uptempo song about Farming

Lyrics

Sweat And Blood And Dirt
verse
Weeds and lawyers try to take our land
The banker?s representative was soulless
He said he hoped that we would understand
And handed me a notice of foreclosure
Then crackling in the kitchen on the two-way radio
We overheard his cel phone as he headed down the road

chorus
They?re nothing but a bunch of farmers
They gambled on the rain and lost their shirts
Scratching in the dust - they aint got no future
You can?t pay bills with sweat and blood and dirt

verse
The auctioneer he tried to do his best
To fetch the highest price for our possessions
He?d take his cut the bank would get the rest
This would be a total liquidation
Then the Johnsons bought our combine for thirty-seven cents
The barn sold for a nickle the seeder went for less
They bought back our machinery and parked it in the yard
The neighbors stood together and gave us back out farm

chorus
We?re nothing but a bunch of farmers
A little short on luck but long on work
We?re nothing but a bunch of farmers
We pay our bills with sweat and blood and dirt

inst.

While politicians argue -we run out of time
The banks can file their papers - where the sun don?t shine

chorus
