Prayin' for rain
But its gettin tough
Yeah, he's holdin' his ground
And the tractor keeps rollin
Hes holdin his ground
Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye
Creating the only cloud in the sky
Through a cloud of dust
All she knows that it won't be long
He's keepin' his faith
Prayin for rain
Creating the only cloud in the sky
Hes keepin his faith
Oh, but he's out there climbin' back on
But it's gettin' tough
In the Lord up above
An' they're havin' problems payin' the bills
That old John Deere tractor ain't moved in days
Hes holdin his ground
Because he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone
'Cause he just can't bear to let go
Through a cloud of dust
In the Lord up above
The dust rises high
The old hardware store, had a 'Help Wanted' sign
And watches him wastin' his time in the fields
He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by
The dust rises high
West Texas forecast, more of the same
Hes keepin his faith
Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm
She stares out the window, fightin' back tears
But its gettin tough
And the tractor keeps rollin
Prayin for rain
After all it's the only life he's ever known
Through a cloud of dust
In the Lord up above
