trouble in the fields - lyle lovett & kathy mattea lyrics

[verse 1: lyle lovett, lyle lovett & kathy mattea]
baby, i know that we’ve got trouble in the fields
when the bankers swarm like locusts out there
turning away our yield
the trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain
leave our pockets full of nothing
but our dreams in the golden grain

[verse 2: lyle lovett, lyle lovett & kathy mattea]
have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station?
they’re all buying their tickets out
and they’re talking the great depression
now our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
when they stood out in these empty fields
in dust as deep as snow

[chorus: lyle lovett & kathy mattea]
and all this trouble in our fields
if this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
they’ll never take our native soil
but if we sell that new john deere
then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears
i’ll be the mule, you’ll be the plow
come harvest time we’ll work it out
there’s still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
[verse 3: lyle lovett, lyle lovett & kathy mattea]
there’s a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
and there’s a little bit of you and a little bit of me
in the photos in every page
now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
they never want the rain to fall
or the weather to get colder

[outro: lyle lovett & kathy mattea]
i’ll be the mule, you’ll be the plow
come harvest time we’ll work it out
there’s still a lot of love here in these troubled fields
