[00:22.26]The old man loaded up everything that he owned
[00:24.84]On a wagon and headed out west
[00:31.62]The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown
[00:34.29]'cause she figured he knew what was best
[00:39.99]And they settled down hard on a government grant
[00:44.22]With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant
[00:49.65]And the rain came down
[00:51.21]Like an angel come down from above
[00:58.92]And the rain came down
[01:04.95]It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
[01:08.16]Fall turned to winter another year gone
[01:09.75]Over and over again
[01:21.09]Some took their lives from their land and moved on
[01:25.44]And some stayed on to plow it back in
[01:28.17]And the good lord he giveth and he taketh away
[01:34.56]And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay
[01:38.70]Now my grandaddy died in the room he was born in
[02:28.23]Twenty-three summers ago
[02:33.06]But i could have sworn he was beside me this morning
[02:36.42]When the sheriff showed up at my door
[02:40.98]So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man
[02:45.69]'cause you can have the machines but you ain't taking my land
