I used to work for Harvester
I used to use my hands
I used to make the tractors and the combines that plowed and harvested
this great land
Now I see my handiwork on the block everywhere I turn
And I see the clouds `cross the weathered faces and I watch the harvest burn
I quit the plant in `57
Had some time for farmin` then
Banks back then was lendin` money
The banker was the farmer`s friend
And I`ve seen dog days and dusty days;
Late spring snow and early fall sleet;
I`ve held the leather reins in my hands and felt the soft ground under my feet
Between the hot dry weather and the taxes, and the Cold War it`s been hard
to make ends meet
But I always kept the clothes on our backs;
I always put the shoes on our feet
My grandson, he comes home from college
He says, `We get the government we deserve.`
My son-in-law just shakes his head and says, `That little punk, he never
had to serve.`
And I sit here in the shadow of the suburbs and look out across these
empty fields
I sit here in earshot of the bypass and all night I listen to the rushin`
of the wheels
The big boys, they all got computers; got incorporated, too
Me, I just know how to raise things
That was all I ever knew
Now, it all comes down to numbers
Now I`m glad that I have quit
Folks these days just don`t do nothin` simply for the love of it
I went into town on the Fourth of July
Watched `em parade past the Union Jack
Watched `em break out the brass and beat on the drum
One step forward and two steps back
And I saw a sign on Easy Street, said, `Be Prepared to Stop.`
Pray for the independent, little man
I don`t see next year`s crop
And I sit here on the back porch in the twilight
And I hear the crickets hum
I sit and watch the lightning in the distance but the showers never come
I sit here and listen to the wind blow
I sit here and rub my hands
I sit here and listen to the clock strike, and I wonder when I`ll see my
