Hard Life Michael L Prather you held the rain when it was falling it barely filled your handanother broken promise to this thirsty landyou live the life of a farmer like your daddy didhe broke his back for a living just to keep the family fed It's a hard life and sometimes you don't know what to doA wife, two kids and they all look to youYou keep on hauling water in in hopes you can make it pastbut if it don't rain soon there's no way you can last You had to sell off some land to pay the mortgage downbut the bank keeps on calling threatening to shut you downand the rain won't come so the crops won't growsometimes you think about leaving and heading down that road It's a hard life and sometimes you don't know what to doA wife, two kids and they all look to youYou keep on hauling water in in hopes you can make it pastbut if it don't rain soon there's no way you can last by this time tomorrow you could be clearly gonebut if you take to running oh will you ever stopso you put your boots on before first lightand head out to make one more line It's a hard life and sometimes you don't know what to doA wife, two kids and they all look to youYou keep on hauling water in in hopes you can make it pastbut if it don't rain soon there's no way you can last
