[Verse 1]
You can't blame me none, I've waiting on the rain
Did my dances, prayed my prayers, but, hell, it never came
Quonset barn and a cotton farm, no water to irrigate
A 4020 diesel and a half-full anhydrous tank
It's granddaddy's land and I got one more trick up my sleeve
Gonna save the farm and that Quonset barn with a little southern chemistry

[Verse 2]
Raining three days straight and water's sinking through my soil
Got a batch I started up last week and I just can't let it spoil
Word on that county road Mr. Carter's on my trail
Southwestern wind, it keeps blowing in, they'll probably place my smell
One more for that corner store and that's all I'll really need
Then I'll call it quits, those latе night shifts, cooking high-speed feed

[Verse 3]
The grass is looking green and I can see it for myself
Twice a day, whеn they swing them gates and they finally rang that bell
They tried to stick a dime on me, but a nickel's all they could prove
And I sent that Quonset up in flames when they finally made their move
So if you're gonna farm, then turn your dirt and plant your seeds
And don't you go grinding teeth cooking that high-speed feed
