Down On The Farm Lyrics - Charley Pride

Looking back a hundred years 

On daughters and sons of the land 

Who're standing here, holding a fistful of dirt 

Watching it slip through my hands 

See the fields of sweat and tears 

Where we labored in love 

We cursed the wind and we prayed for rain 

But never thought of giving it up 

Oh, down on the farm 

Oh, somebody's dreams are ending 

When a way of life can be auctioned off 

There's more than one fence that needs bending

It looks like to me, this country still needs 

A muscle and two strong arms 

If we can send a man up to the moon 

We can keep a man down on the farm 

Staring out of this factory window 

Trying to make sense of it all 

I remember on this very spot, corn standing ten feet tall 

America, America, who do we blame it on? 

It was only the family fund, who really cares if it's gone 

Oh, down on the farm 

Oh, somebody's dreams are ending 

When a way of life can be auctioned off 

There's more than one fence that needs bending
