Gardens

Watching the water rush downhill
Making gullies deep and wide
Mr weatherman was as long as this monsoon rain
And all the hopes for the coming year
Planted earlier that day
Were washed straight down in a muddy heap
'Till it hit the bottom of that steep steep grade

Makes me wanna sell this farm and buy a garden
Sell this farm and buy a garden
Leave this land behind
Sometimes the sun 'round here don't shine

Loading up that big flatbed Ford
With the year all cured and packed
Mr auctioneer please sing us a happy song
While it was cut and sittin' in the field
There came an early frost
Now them buyers have got us by the balls
And we'll be lucky if all our profits ain't been lost

Makes me wanna sell this farm and buy a garden
Sell this farm and buy a garden
Leave this land behind
Sometimes Mother Nature ain't too kind

Pulling leaves from the bottom up
Getting dead ones while we can
Mr co-op man please give us a remedy
Seems this blight is of Asian strain
If we don't do something fast
Disease 'll spread like a case of hives
And we'll be lucky if we don't lose our ass

Makes me wanna sell this farm and buy a garden
Sell this farm and buy a garden
Leave this land behind
Gonna see what else I can find
