THE BLOOD RED SUN BEAT DOWN AND BAKED THE RED CLAY GROUND

G7 C

DUST KICKED UP AROUND HIS JOHN DEERE WHEELS

F

NO TRACE OF RAIN IN SIGHT AGAIN HE'LL LOSE THE FIGHT

AND HAVE TO WATCH HIS CROPS DIE IN THE FIELDS

THEY STOOD THERE BOTH IN TEARS,HIS WIFE OF MANY YEARS

G7 C

SAID JOHN YOU KNOW I HATE TO LOSE OUR FARM

HE LOOKED INTO HER EYES THEN LOOKED UP AT THE SKIES

AND TOLD HER AS HE HELD HER IN HIS ARMS

THE MUSCLES IN HIS ARMS JUST LIKE HIS RUN DOWN FARM

ONE HARD WORKIN' MAN, TWO HARD WORKIN' HANDS

G7 C G7

WERE GIVIN' UP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

C F

HIS AGING EYES GREW DIM AND THE LADY THAT WORSHIPPED HIM

G7 C

SAT CRYIN' ON A CHAIR BESIDE HIS BED

F

HER HANDS CARESSED HIS BROW AND SHE SAID IT'S ALRIGHT NOW

G7 C G7

AND AS HE SLOWLY SLIPPED AWAY HE SAID
