Lyrics
Money in the bank,
Food on the table
Soybeans are crowdin' out weeds.
This is the life I want for my family.
It's always been just our of reach.
Chorus:
Carry me back
Carry me home
Carry this debt that I owe
Hand to hand
While I make my stand
Workin' these fields that I know.
Banker's in the yard never caring how hard
It is to save a thin dime.
Failures from the past
Just seem to last
Like the rocks and the clay in these fields.
Chorus...
No matter how small a man's work stands tall
When he's out there alone in the fields.
Lord, grant me the day I can look back and say,
"These rows that I've planted run true."
Chorus...
