[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               D7      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
