Won't Grow Here

I was still young when I drove the plow
Her hair was like fire when we took our vows
Violets in spring, apples in the fall
Tomatoes in summer, and home again all

I made a bed on a pallet on the straw
Raised four walls, then a son, and then one more
Violets in spring, apples in the fall
Tomatoes in summer, and home again all

I pulled the cart straight on the row
And I built a fine fire from the coal
We sowed our hearts, but desire won't grow here and
The wheat burned like gold in the fields

The fallen fall like leaves from the trees
You can talk as you please, but no one talks of peace
Whisky and bread, apples in the fall
Tomatoes in summer, and home again all

I pulled the cart straight on the row
And I built a fine fire from the coal
We sowed our hearts, but desire won't grow here and
The wheat burned like gold in the fields

And I pulled the cart straight on the row
And I built a fine fire from the coal
We sowed our hearts, but desire won't grow here and
The wheat burned like gold in the fields

Harden the bone, harden the marrow
Make this body a shield from an arrow
Harden the bone, harden the marrow
Make this body a shield from an arrow
