Lightnin’ struck, the team run wild
Tore up a harness and a brand-new plow
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster

Runaway team, fence tore down
Kicking up dust all the way to town
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster

Hard times, hard land, try to make a dime but I’ll be damned
Drought, heat and hail tend to get the upper hand
Scratch that ground pray for rain
Sometimes the trouble ain’t worth the pain
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster

Beans and taters in the shed
If it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t get fed
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster


Hard times hard land, try to make a dime but I’ll be damned
Drought heat and hail tend to get the upper hand
Wife took sick got the flu
Lord I’m doin’ all I can do
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster


Four little kids down with mom
life’s got a way of handin out lumps
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, Sodbuster


Hard times, hard land, try to make a dime but I’ll be damned
Drought, heat and hail tend to get the upper hand
Scratch that ground pray for rain
Sometimes the trouble ain’t worth the pain
It’s a hard go trying to make a dollar, sodbuster
