America's Farm - Levon Helm

I see the red, white and blue

So mixed up and so confused

Nobody knows which way to go

I see us turning down a dead-end road

We’re playin' 'round, losing ground

And things are lookin' bad in my town

I see me, I see you

I see that it is so much to do

We got to step all along

We’ve grown up working America’s farm

We got the ground, we got the seed

But she won’t grow without you and me

We got the rain, but no how

It’s just a matter of us grabbing the plow

We got the hands, we got the arms

I say it’s time to work America’s farm

I see it time we face the facts

Somewhere our train has jumped its track

We got to stop standing still

We need a good engineer at the wheel

We’re laying back in the shade

I seen it all days and week

I see me, I see you

Sleeping on that red, white and blue

We got to step all along

We’ve grown up working America’s farm

We got the ground, we got the seed

But she won’t grow without you and me

We got the rain, but no how

It’s just a matter of us grabbing the plow

We got the hands, we got the arms

I say it’s time to work America’s farm
