Текст пісні
Out in the fields where the dust storms rise
This old-timer stands with tears in his eyes
Droughts lasted so long, yet the sun still shines
He's ploughing the earth where hope intertwines
The fire once raged, now the land lay bare
But in his heart the spark's still there
He faced the floods when the river ran wild
Lost in the chaos like a desolate child
Oh, he wandered through storms and endured the pain
Prices fall down when the steers are fat It drives him insane
Selling dreams for the worth of a dime
As he battles the bank, trying to buy back his time
Her laughter lingers like the sweet summer breeze
The love of his life lost the war with the big C
Years flew by, the kids flew the nest
Chasing their dreams, he's alone, feeling bereft
The mortgage hangs over his head, like a shadow so stark
Praying for rain, but the fields are so parched
He sowed every seed with a prayer in his heart
His blood feeds the world always doing his part
Oh, he wandered through storms and endured the pain
Prices fall down when the steers are fat, It drives him insane
Selling dreams for the worth of a dime
As he battles the bank, trying to buy back his time
Yet in the despair sweet memories still bloom
County fairs and rodeos lighten the gloom
The buckle he won riding that bull so proud
Each ride was a dance, he was lost in the crowd
The births of the children, oh how his heart swelled
In those moments of joy, all these troubles dispelled
Now he longs for his grandkids, they'll come for the summer
Showing them how to ride, how to wrangle, see the wonder
Fishing in the river like I did with my pop
Show them the spirit that will put them on top
Life's a struggle, but there's beauty in pain
In the fields of his memories, where love will remain
Oh, I've wandered through storms and endured the pain
Prices fall down when the steers are fat, It drives me insane
Selling dreams for the worth of a dime
