This Hard Land (Live at Hovet, Stockholm, SE - 06/25/2005)

[00:28.01]Hey there mister can you tell me

[00:31.37]What happened to the seeds I've sown

[00:35.60]Can you give me a reason sir as to why they've never grown

[00:42.74]They've just blown around from town to town

[00:47.86]Back out on these fields

[00:52.67]Where they fall from my hand

[00:55.60]Back into the dirt of this hard land

[01:03.65]Well me and my sister

[01:07.26]From Germantown we did ride

[01:12.20]We made our bed sir

[01:14.65]From the rock on the mountainside

[01:18.72]We been blowin' around from town to town

[01:22.85]Lookin' for a place to stand

[01:25.27]Where the sun burst through the clouds and fall like a circle

[01:31.85]A circle of fire down on this hard land

[01:39.15]Now even the rain it don't come 'round

[01:43.78]Don't come 'round here no more

[01:47.43]And the only sound at night's the wind

[01:52.14]Slammin' the back porch door

[01:54.65]Yeah it stirs you up like it wants to blow you down

[01:58.99]Twistin' and churnin' up the sand

[02:01.31]Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' facedown

[02:08.15]In the dirt of this hard land

[02:31.15]From a building up on the hill

[02:33.75]I can hear a tape deck blastin' 'Home on the Range'

[02:37.90]I can hear them Bar-M choppers

[02:43.02]Sweepin' low across the plains

[02:46.19]It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle

[02:50.72]Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand

[02:56.12]We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure

[02:59.29]Way down south of the Rio Grande

[03:03.13]We're ridin' 'cross that river in the moonlight

[03:06.90]Up onto the banks of this hard land

[03:14.56]Hey Frank won't you pack your bags

[03:16.93]And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall

[03:23.16]Just one kiss from you my brother

[03:26.93]And we'll ride until we fall

[03:29.95]Well sleep in the fields

[03:32.13]We'll sleep by the rivers

[03:33.70]And in the morning we'll make a plan

[03:36.21]Well if you can't make it stay hard stay hungry stay alive if you can

[03:46.37]And meet me in a dream of this hard land
