I been workin on the farm, just me and my brother Jack
Choppin a sea of cotton till I thought I’d break my back
Everything changed when my daddy got hurt
Our lives were so connected to that brown ol’ flatland dirt

Trisha Yearwood, “The Dreaming Fields”:
“Seems the only way a man can live off the land these days/Is to buy and sell”

George Strait, “Give Me More Time”:
A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain’t rained and all the crops are dying vine
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time.
That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears
Give me more time
I need more time.
