Concert in the Soil

A John Deere tractor and a Chevy truck
Texas sun and Texas dirt

Plow the ground and break it up.
By the moonlight continue to toil
Popping Johnny breaking soil.

Study it, analyze it,
Fertilize it, lime it,

Plant in it, cultivate it,
Harrow it and till it,

Terrace it, irrigate it,
Conserve it and smell it,

Mortage it, Will it,
Real Estate deal it.

Live in it, grow in it,
Get old and die in it.

Texas sun and Texas dirt
Plow the ground and break it up.
