Sorry County Blues Lyrics

Simon plowed the Prairie with a furrow straight and long
where a woman can grow Restless and a good thing can go wrong
she asked him again Boy tell me when this dirt farm is gonna pay
Then she drove off in his pickup truck and left him standing in the rain
with empty pockets
and payments overdue
staring in the face of a low down case of them sorry County Blues
Daddy said Son hit the road this place will drag you down
But mama cried when Tyler left for the dirty factory town

They punched him in they punched him out they stood him and their line
He built the big Earth movers working double overtime
Well they used him
Till they had all they could use
Now it's rise and shine in the hand outline with the sorry County Blues
She reigned Supreme the Teenage Queen down at the County High
Now Darlene keeps the motel clean she's a waitress on the side
Now even though she seems to grow a little broker everyday
Had the kids all fed and in the bed when the landlord called to say
I hate to do this
To you baby but there's no other way to choose
She's packing her things and you know she sings them sorry County Blues
They were worn hard
you might say they were born to lose
That's one step forward and two steps toward them sorry County Blues
Yes one step forward and two steps toward them sorry County Blues
