Trouble In The Fields - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
Baby I know that we've got trouble in the fields[00:00:16]
When the bankers swarm like locust out there[00:00:21]
Turning away our yield[00:00:25]
The trains roll by our silos [00:00:29]
Silver in the rain[00:00:31]
They leave our pockets full of nothing[00:00:34]
But our dreams and the golden grain[00:00:37]
Have you seen the folks[00:00:42]
In line downtown at the station[00:00:43]
They're all buying their ticket out[00:00:48]
And talking the great depression[00:00:51]
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago[00:00:55]
When they stood out in these empty fields[00:01:01]
In dust as deep as snow[00:01:04]
And all this trouble in our fields[00:01:08]
If this rain can fall [00:01:12]
These wounds can heal[00:01:14]
They'll never take our native soil[00:01:17]
But if we sell that new John Deere[00:01:22]
And then we'll work these crops[00:01:25]
With sweat and tears[00:01:27]
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow[00:01:29]
Come harvest time we'll work it out[00:01:33]
There's still a lot of love [00:01:36]
Here in these troubled fields[00:01:39]
There's a book up on the shelf[00:01:58]
About the dust bowl days[00:02:00]
And there's a little bit of you[00:02:04]
And a little bit of me[00:02:05]
In the photos on every page[00:02:07]
Now our children live in the city[00:02:11]
And they rest upon our shoulders[00:02:14]
They never want the rain to fall[00:02:18]
Or the weather to get colder[00:02:20]
And all this trouble in our fields[00:02:25]
If this rain can fall [00:02:28]
These wounds can heal[00:02:30]
They'll never take our native soil[00:02:32]
But if we sell that new John Deere[00:02:38]
And then we'll work these crops[00:02:41]
With sweat and tears[00:02:43]
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow[00:02:45]
Come harvest time we'll work it out[00:02:49]
There's still a lot of love [00:02:52]
Here in these troubled fields[00:02:55]
You'll be the mule I'll be the plow[00:02:59]
Come harvest time we'll work it out[00:03:02]
There's still a lot of love [00:03:05]
Here in these troubled fields[00:03:08]
