Baby, I know that we got trouble in the fields 
And the bankers swarm like locusts out there, turning away our yields 
And the trains roll by our silo, silver in the rain 
Leave our pockets full of nothing but these dreams of the golden grain 

I can see the folks lined up downtown at the station 
They're all buying their tickets out and they're talking a Great Depression 
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago 
When they stood out in these empty fields, in dust as deep as snow 

And all this trouble in our fields 
If this rain can fall these wounds can heal 
They'll never take our native soil 
And if we sell that new John Deere then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears 

You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow 
Come harvest time, we'll work it out 
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields 

There's a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days 
There's a little bit of you and a little bit of me in the photos on every page 
Our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders 
They don't want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder 

And all this trouble in our fields 
If this rain can fall these wounds can heal 
They'll never take our native soil 
And if we sell that new John Deere and then we'll work these crops with sweat and tears 
You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow 
Come harvest time we'll work it out 
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields 

You'll be the mule, I'll be the plow 
Come harvest time we'll work it out 
There's still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
