Cloud Of Dust lyrics

West Texas forecast more of the same
Sunny and mild no chance of rain
That old John Deere tractor ain`t moved in days
Oh, but he`s out there climbin` back on
Because he`s yet to admit that his crops are all gone

She stares out the window fightin` back tears
And watches him wastin` his time in the fields
They`re havin` problems payin` the bills
Oh and she knows that it won`t be long
Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm

And the tractor keeps rollin`
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He`s holdin` his ground
But it`s gettin` tough
He`s keepin` his faith
In the Lord up above
And prayin` for rain
Through a cloud of dust

Yesterday somethin` in town caught his eye
The old hardware store had a help wanted sign
He thought about stoppin` but he drove on by
`Cause he just can`t bear to let go
After all it`s the only life he`s ever known

And the tractor keeps rollin`
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He`s holdin` his ground
But it`s gettin` tough
He`s keepin` his faith
In the Lord up above
And prayin` for rain
Through a cloud of dust

Yeah, he`s holdin` his ground
But it`s gettin` tough
He`s keepin` his faith
In the Lord up above
And prayin` for rain
Through a cloud of dust

West Texas forecast more of the same
Sunny and mild no chance of rain
