Growing Trade

I worked the land to raise a family

Til I was weary to the bone

But hard labor never bothered me

Lord it's all I've ever knownToo many seasons of calamity

And too much interest on the loan

I'm half the size that I used to be

And half of that is stoneThe crops ain't worth the seeding

10 will only get you 5

The livestock I'ma feedin'

I can hardly keep 'em alive

I gotta do what I can to surviveI know the law won't be forgiving

But that'll be the choice I made

I used to farm for a living

And now I'm in the growing tradeThe summer beauty of the cotton field

Was like a view from Heaven's door

My granddaddy said that harvest time

Was what the good Lord made us forI guess he'd wonder where's the dignity

In a crop you raise to burn

But this land is my legacy

I got nowhere else to turnShotgun on my shoulder

Where a tote sack oughta be

The thieves are getting bolder

And the feds may be watchin' me

I gotta quit this eventuallyI know the law won't be forgiving

But that'll be the choice I made

I used to farm for a living

But now I'm in the growing tradeHelicopters in the distance

Coming closer everyday

They're gonna meet some resistance

Aint no price I wouldn't pay

There won't be any difference

When they take it all away

Between a cot in the jail house

And a bed beneath the clay

I guess there's nothing to do now but prayI know the law won't be forgiving

But that'll be the choice I made

I used to farm for a living

And now I'm in the growing trade
