Hard Country - Poco

There goes Bobby Ray, Junior

Pullin' out of town

Got his family in a U-Haul

They’re all sunbelt bound

Another farm abandoned

They gave the land back to the wind

The price of fuel went up, corn went down

And I don’t think we’ll be seeing Bobby again

It’s a hard country

Last year the fields were all too wet to plow

Hard country

And this year they say that it looks like a drought

But I can’t leave

My roots go deep in this hard country

I’ve got a friend got a job in the city

Installing burglar alarms

He says he’s makin' real good money

But I can tell he misses the farm

He calls to ask how the crops are doin'

I say we could use some rain

Says his life is movin' kinda fast

And I tell him out here things are always the same

Well the snow piles up in the winter

And the bugs come out in June

But somehow, it’s all worth it

When I see that harvest moon
