[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

           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
