Shenandoah - Hard Country lyrics

Early to bed and early to rise Wiping the sleep from my little one's eyes Hit the long road and cut ‘em down to size Take it to market and see what it buys Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow An honest day's work for and honest day's pay Honestly you know it ain't a living wage Sweating in the sun and praying for rain Supper and sleep and do it all again Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow Brother took a job in the county seat Thought he bought a ticket to easy street Well he got laid off from the factory Now he's back on the rolling forty with me Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow So grab your partner and dosey-doe Louisiana Hayride's on the radio Finally the harvest moon's a glow Wouldn't take mine for any life I know Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow Hard country, just to make a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow Hard country, hard country Hard country, making a living by the sweat of my brow Hard country, looking at the world from the back of a plow
