they say it's a good land - butch hancock lyrics

Loading...

cotton stalks stripped clean to the ground
both sides of the road all the way into town
it’s been a good harvest, one of the best
now it looks like the weather’s gonna give me some rest

well they say it’s a good land
and i guess i’ll agree
cause if land can be good, lord
this land has been good to me

we cleared off this land so many years ago
the yucca and the cactus and mesquites had to go
we plowed behind mules and milked many a cow
but it’s a fine brick home on the range we got now

well they say it’s a good land
and i guess i’ll agree
cause if land can be good, lord
this land has been good to me

[ harmonica ]

i can’t say when this land clearings all gonna stop
but i could sure use some more acres and my money crop
my youngsters have gone to the city to roam
ain’t n0body left but this old folks at home

another farmer at the edge of the city sold out
another 500 tract houses scattered about
i hope god will forgive ’em for misusing that land
yes i guess that he’ll have to cause they don’t understand

well they say it’s a good land
and i guess i’ll agree
cause if land can be good, lord
this land has been good to me

they say the coyotes are trying to make a comeback
last week i even seen myself a whole pack
and a man up the road’s got some strung on a fence
but he ain’t raising chickens, and it ain’t making sense

well they say it’s a good land
and i guess i’ll agree
cause if land can be good, lord
this land has been good to me
