This Hard Land

[Verse 1] Hey there, mister Can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown? Can you gimme a reason, sir As to why they've never grown? They've just blown around from town to town 'Til they're back out on to these fields Yeah, where they fall from my hand Back into the dirt of this hard land (Come on) [Verse 2] Now me and my sister From Germantown, yeah, we did ride Well, we made our bed, sir From the rock on the mountainside We've been blowin' around from town to town Lookin' for a place to land Where the sun bursts through the clouds to fall like a circle Like a circle of fire down on this hard land [Verse 3] Now even the rain it don't come 'round Don't come 'round here no more And the only sound at night's the wind Slammin' that back-porch door It just stirs you up like it wants to just blow you down Twistin' and churnin' up the sand And leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down Face down in the dirt of this hard land [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] From a building up on the hill I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range" And I can see them Bar-M choppers Sweepin' low across the plains And it's me and you, Frank, we're lookin' for lost cattle Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand We're ridin' in the whirlwind, searchin' for lost treasure Way down south of the Rio Grande We're ridin' 'cross that river in the moonlight Yeah, up onto the banks of this hard land [Verse 5] Hey Frank, won't you pack your bags And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall? Now just one kiss from you, my brother And we'll ride until we fall We'll sleep in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers And in the morning we'll make a plan Well, if you can't make it stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive, if you can And meet me in a dream of this hard land (Oh) [Harmonica Solo]
