Dry Ground Blues

This Pennsylvania ground could use some rain
I long to hear that pitter patter on my window pane
I’m not a man prone to complain
But I’ve got to have water on the ground to ease my pain

Well I go outside in the morning just as the sun comes up
It’s another day with no rain and the dust flies from my pickup truck
Well the sun’s beating down so hot as I look down my meager rows
Well it’s so damn dry the weeds won’t even grow

This Pennsylvania ground could use some rain
I long to hear that pitter patter on my window pane
I’m not a man prone to complain
But I’ve got to have water on the ground to ease my pain

I’ve seen a summer or two when the rain didn’t follow my plan
But this year we’re feeling desperate because the rain it never began
Well I know I won’t make a profit, this year times are hard
But it’s got to start raining sometime to run this farm

This Pennsylvania ground could use some rain
I long to hear that pitter patter on my window pane
I’m not a man prone to complain
But I’ve got to have water on the ground to ease my pain
