What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well there's cars in the driveway as you turn into the yard
2
The casket's in the living room
3
You look away and swallow hard
4
Someone hands you a bottle
5
And you don't know who they are
6
Funny, how you used to know everybody in these parts
7
And you hardly knew the dead man
8
Though you spoke a time or to
9
And he had a wife and two small children
10
And he lived just like you do
11
And he died on his tractor
12
Holding his end down
13
Forty acres left to plant
14
And forty in the ground
15
But he never had a chance
16
It's what they're saying now
17
The bank was going to walk in any day, anyhow
18
And it makes you kind of wonder
19
As you watch the daylight burn
20
Wonder if he knew it
21
Wonder if he'd heard
22
She's got a crooked smile
23
And there's dark around her eyes
24
She says she knows she's got to get on with her life
25
And you stand off alone
26
And look to where the sun sets
27
Someone says we ain't seen the last of it yet
28
And he died on his tractor
29
Holding his end down
30
Forty acres left to plant
31
And forty in the ground
32
And he never had a chance
33
That's what they're saying now
34
The bank was going to walk in any day, anyhow
35
And it makes you kind of wonder
36
As you watch the daylight burn
37
Wonder if he knew it
38
Wonder if he'd heard
39
There's a crop of yellow sunflowers
40
In the field across the way
41
Makes you sorta grin
42
As you're coming down the lane
43
Three hundred bucks a ton
44
It's what they said at plantin' time
45
But when it comes to harvest
46
It wasn't worth a dime
