Hard Country Lyrics

Early to bed and early to rise
Wiping the sleep from my little one's eyes
Hit the long rows and cut 'em down to size
Take it to market and see what it buys.

(In the 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 days work for an honest days 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.

(In the 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'd bought a ticket to easy street
Well, he got laid off from the factory
Now he's back on the lower forty with me.

(In the 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 do-se-do
Louisiana hayride's on the radio
Finally the harvert moon's aglow
Wouldn't trade mine for and life I know.

(In the hard country)
Making a living by the sweat of my brow
(Hard country)
Looking at the world from the back of a plow.

(In the hard country)
Making a living by the sweat of my brow
(Hard country)
Looking at the world from the back of a plow.

(In the hard country)
Making a living by the sweat of my brow
(Hard country)
Looking at the world from the back of a plow.

(In the hard country)
(Hard country)
(Hard country)

(In the hard country)
Making a living by the sweat of my brow
(Hard country)
Looking at the world from the back of a plow...
