Farmers Wish

FARMERS WISH Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes Wishing for rain in the clear blue skies We’re faced with a problem every single day Our stocks are all dying right were they lay Tanks are all empty once again, bore’s all dead & dry Banks want more money, but lord how I try Year after year praying for rain Hail Mary, my prayers are in vein I can remember when I was a boy My dad and his dad too, had so much green Had so much green green grass We used to play and swim in the creek But all that I’m left with is barren ground More dead sheep, stacked ten deep I can’t give up not while I breath Cause I’m a fair dinkum Aussie guy, Who never ever gives up Too much to live for before I say goodbye So while there is food on the table and a beer in hand I’ll keep on fighting for my home on the land With my wife standing tall along my side We’ll keep on fighting till the day we say goodbye
