J.A. Ronin - Farmer's Son

Working so hard in the Summer Sun
Praying for rain so the job can be done
Rise with day so you don't waste the light
And I can't seem to sleep very well in the night
I'm a Farmer's Son like my Daddy before
A hundred and twenty seven years on the door
Six years dry no sign of rain
And the man from the bank is calling me again
I was a Man
The work was done
I had some Land
Under the Sun
Good Earth gives the Good Earth takes
And when its hell on Earth a good man breaks
The Earth's so dry that it won't grow weeds
I'm shooting all the cows 'cause i can't afford the feed
Now the Le Francois he's got his subsidies
The Red White and Blue bring the world to its knees
Give a damn for the Aussie Man
When the bank comes along to turf him off the land
I was a Man
The work it was done
I had some Land
Under the Sun
Then came the bank
Took all my life
I lost my kids
I lost my wife
My wife remarried a lawyer named Brad
My kids grew up calling him Dad
I couldn't stand the sight of the Land no more
Just turned my back walked out the door
Now the Sydney Streets are alive with lights
I can't seem to sleep very well in the night
Driving my cab in the pouring rain
Watching all the water going down the drain
I was a Man
My work it was done
I had some Land
I was Someone
Then came my bank
Took all my life
I lost my kids
I lost my wife
