Sunny and mild no chance of rain 
 That old John Deere tractor ain't moved in days 
 Oh, but he's out there climbin' back on 
 Because he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone 
  
 She stares out the window fightin' back tears 
 And watches him wastin' his time in the fields 
 They're havin' problems payin' the bills 
 Oh and she knows that it won't be long 
 Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm 
  
 And the tractor keeps rollin' 
 The dust rises high 
 Creating the only cloud in the sky 
 He's holdin' his ground 
 But it's gettin' tough 
 He's keepin' his faith 
 In the Lord up above 
 And prayin' for rain 
 Through a cloud of dust 
  
 Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye 
 The old hardware store had a help wanted sign 
 He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by 
 'Cause he just can't bear to let go 
 After all it's the only life he's ever known 
  
 And the tractor keeps rollin' 
 The dust rises high 
 Creating the only cloud in the sky 
 He's holdin' his ground 
 But it's gettin' tough 
 He's keepin' his faith 
 In the Lord up above 
 And prayin' for rain 
 Through a cloud of dust 
  
 Yeah, he's holdin' his ground 
 But it's gettin' tough 
 He's keepin' his faith 
 In the Lord up above 
 And prayin' for rain 
 Through a cloud of dust 
  
 West Texas forecast more of the same 
 Sunny and mild no chance of rain
