Hey there mister can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown   Can you give me a reason sir as to why they've never grown   They've just blown around from town to town   Till they're back out on these fields   Where they fall from my hand   Back into the dirt of this hard land    Now me and my sister from Germantown we did ride   We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside   We been blowin' around from town to town   Lookin for a place to stand   Where the sun burst through the cloud to fall like a circle   Like a circle of fire down on this hard land      Now even the rain it don't come 'round   It don't come 'round here no more   And the only sound at night's the wind   Slammin' the back porch door   It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down   Twistin' and churnin' up the sand   Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down   Face down in the dirt of this hard land      From a building up on the hill    I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range"   I can see them Bar-M choppers sweepin' low across the plains   It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle   Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand   We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure   Way down south of the Rio Grande   We're ridin' cross that river in the moonlight   Up onto the banks of this hard land      Hey Frank won't ya pack your bags   And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall   Just one kiss from you my brother and we'll ride until we fall   Well sleep in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers   And in the morning we'll make a plan   We'll if you can't make it   Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive   If you can   And meet me in a dream of this hard land
