lyrics

Vines ripe and left, bright orange fruit to see
public came but they left over half for me
Diesel's cold but ether helps a glow form
she starts right up, ready to wipe it clean

That's when I can't, I can't forget to be
thankful, thankful to Thee
That's when I can't, I can't forget to be
thankful, thankful to Thee

I've got 40 acres of regret to see
profit loss has been on show for free
But with the moisture right in the morning light
hydraulic lifts up the three-point hitch

Some carve faces, some carve them desperately
put a candle inside as if that were really life
I leave them blank to sit so quietly
expecting nothing, never turning away

Drop the disc down onto a level ground
watch it churn like an ocean gone brown
Pumpkin leaves and tendrils turning under me
an empty slate, ready for the cold
