"Dry Land Farm"
By: Butch Hancock
From: "West Texas Waltzes & Dust-Blown Tractor Tunes" (1978)
Chords by: Tabbedout

Capo 1st fret

(G)There's thunderstorms buildin' up over on the county (D7) line
All the neigbourin farms get rain but I never get a drop on (G) mine
You might think that a little ol' summer breeze couldn't do nobody (D7) harm
But it burns like a blazin' blowtorch
When you're livin' on a DRY LAND (G) FARM

(G)When the west wind comes blowin' the sand comes blowin' (D7) too
And I must say a mouthful is more than I can (G) chew
I swallerd a gallon for every acre and God knows it (D7) hurt
But it ain't as bad as the trouble I had
Breaking up that dry land (G) dirt

(G)Now the politician says to the farmer your the (D7) backbone of the land
And the irrigatin farmer says "thank you sir, I'll eat right out of your (G) hand"
And your average automobile has air condition when it's (D7) warm
Yeah things are are cool for everybody
But the man on the DRY LAND (G) FARM

(G)Now if I had my wicked way in this (D7) equally wicked world
I'd build a garden-of-eden for every boy and (G) girl
But I'd take our two-faced president and I'd grab him by the (D7) arm
Stick him out in the middle of the desert
And make him work on a DRY LAND (G) FARM
