Joe Ely - All That You Need Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I been workin on the farm
  • Just me and my brother Jack
  • Choppin a sea of cotton
  • Till I thought Id break my back
  • Everything changed
  • When my daddy got hurt
  • Our lives were so connected
  • to that brown ol flatland dirt
  • When the government man from Austin
  • Come sniffin around our land
  • Askin a bunch of questions
  • That we did not understand
  • Theres more to farmin cotton
  • Than just tendin to your seed
  • The ones who set the policy
  • Dont give a damn about our needs
  • Sow the seed in the ground below
  • Fall to your knees and pray real slow
  • That rain will come and kiss the seed
  • And Bless you with all that you need
  • Mama says to Jackie
  • Would she bring the car around?
  • Shes wearin her finest dress
  • Thats how I know shes goin to town
  • I wish Id never seen that letter
  • That I found there in her room
  • Theyre sellin the farm on the courthouse step
  • This Saturday afternoon
  • Me and Jack moved into town
  • To a shack by the train depot
  • Jack got a job as a bouncer
  • At a Bar on Paradise Row
  • Mama got a job in the cotton gin
  • Grading cotton by the bale
  • She cried when a trailor full of cotton come in
  • From the farm we had to sell
  • Sow the seed in the ground below
  • Fall to your knees and pray real slow
  • That rain will come and kiss the seed
  • And Bless you with all that you need
  • Me, I ended up in jail
  • Sick of livin on welfare
  • And the hardest thing ever happend to me
  • Is when mama come to vist me there
  • Dont you worry your pretty little head
  • I said as I buttoned my shirt
  • When I get out of this Iron Hotel
  • Im goin back to that Dryland dirt
  • For some its just a livin
  • But for Us its our whole life
  • If it kills me Im gonna rake that dirt
  • And make a livin out of toil and strife
  • The ways of the cities makes no sense
  • Strapped to dependency
  • Id rather be sweatin aneath a clear blue sky
  • Plantin cotton with my family
  • Sow the seed in the ground below
  • Fall to your knees and pray real slow
  • That rain will come and kiss the seed
  • And Bless you with all that you need
