words & music by Bob Pearce
from The Beer Dawgs 1998 "Dawgwood" 1999 "Blonde on the Bayou" (as "The Farmer") & Slim Bawb's 2009 "Hillbilly Fellini"
Shawna Day Music BMI
The sun rises early for a poor man
Sunset's the only relief from the wind and rain
Early to bad and early to rise, I got aches in my bones dust in my eyes
CHORUS
I've been a farmer for twenty-eight years
Blood on my handS and soil in my veins
I've known the heartache of empty tears
Now the tables are turned, & on my life it’ll rain
I've got two kids and a lovin' wife, and a beat up ole' shack we call home
I got the faith, since I saw the light, and I know that I'll never be alone
REPEAT CHORUS,FIRST VERSE, CHORUS AGAIN
Now the tables are turned & on my life it’ll rain
On my life it’ll rain
