[01:10.11]Baby I know
[01:11.65]That we've got trouble in the fields
[01:15.83]When the bankers swarm like locust
[01:18.30]Out there turning away our yield
[01:23.87]The trains roll by our silos
[01:26.38]Silver in the rain
[01:28.97]They leave our pockets full of nothing
[01:32.33]But our dreams and the golden grain
[01:37.36]Have you seen the folks in line
[01:39.73]There downtown at the station
[01:43.89]They're all buying their ticket
[01:45.72]Out and their talking the great depression
[01:51.17]Our parents had their hard times
[01:53.71]Fifty years ago
[01:56.98]When they stood out in these empty fields
[02:00.63]In dust as deep as snow
[02:05.01]And all this trouble in our fields
[02:08.69]If this rain can fall
[02:10.69]These wounds can heal
[02:13.82]They'll never take our native soil
[02:19.11]But if we sell that new John Deere
[02:22.72]And we'll work these crops
[02:24.67]With sweat and tears
[02:27.58]You'll be the mule
[02:29.20]I'll be the plow
[02:30.93]Come harvest time
[02:32.64]We'll work it out
[02:34.48]There's still a lotta love
[02:37.43]Here in these troubled fields
[03:10.81]There's a book up on the shelf
[03:13.73]About those dust bowl days
[03:16.64]And there's a little bit of you
[03:18.42]And a little bit of me
[03:20.08]In the photos on every page
[03:24.76]Our children live in the city
[03:27.02]And they rest upon our shoulders
[03:31.20]They never want the rain to fall
[03:33.88]Or the weather to get colder
[03:38.52]And all this trouble in our fields
[03:42.11]If this rain can fall
[03:44.07]These wounds can heal
[03:47.14]They'll never take our native soil
[03:52.28]But if we sell that new John Deere
[03:55.93]Then we'll work these crops
[03:57.88]With sweat and tears
[04:00.81]You'll be the mule
[04:02.41]I'll be the plow
[04:04.10]Come harvest time
[04:05.77]We'll work it out
[04:07.57]There's still a lotta love
[04:10.57]Here in these troubled fields
[04:14.56]You'll be the mule
[04:16.22]I'll be the plow
[04:17.97]Come harvest time
[04:19.63]We'll work it out
[04:21.51]There's still a lotta love
[04:24.12]Right here in these troubled fields
