INTRO: 1, 1
1 5 4 1
Watch the field behind the plow, turn to straight dark rows
2m 4 5Feel the trickle in your clothes, blow the dustcake from your nose
Hear the tractor's steady roar, oh you can't stop now
2m 57 1There's a quarter section more or less to go
1 5 4 1
And it figures that the rain keeps it's own sweet time
2m 4 5You can watch it come for miles, but you guess you've got a while
So ease the throttle out a hair, every rod's a gain
2m 57 1There's victory in every quarter mile
CHORUS ONE:
Poor old Kuzyk down the road
6m 4 1The heartache, hail, and hoppers brought him down
2 5He gave it up and went to town
... And Emmet Pierce, the other day
6m 4 1Took a heart attack and died at forty-two
2 5 1 6mYou could see it coming on, 'cause he worked as hard as you

THE FIELD BEHIND THE PLOW PAGE TWO
In an hour, maybe more, you'll be wet clear through
2m 4 5The air is cooler now, pull your hat brim further down
1 5 4 1And watch the field behind the plow turn to straight dark rows
Put a-nother season's promise in the ground
CHORUS TWO:
5And if the harvest's any good
The money might just cover all the loans
2 5You've mortgaged all you own
... Buy the kids a winter coat
Take the wife back east for Christmas if you can
2 5 1 6mAll summer she hangs on, when you're so tied to the land
1 5 4 1
For the good times come and go, but at least there's rain
2m 4 5So this won't be barren ground, when Sep-tember rolls a-round
And watch the field behind the plow, turn to straight dark rows
2m 57 1Put a-nother season's promise in the ground
