Unofficial studio version 5
One, two, one
Rains and the field covered with tar
Can't get a price to see my way clear
I'm sitting down at the Sugarland bar
Just might as well bury my body right here
Tractor and combines out in the cold
Shed's piled high with the wheat we ain't sold
Silo's filled with last year's crop
Well if something don't break here we'll all gonna drop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Wife's got another coming in July
Ma's laying on the bed, all she does is cry, cry, cry
"Tommy, oh, Tommy, I'm so alone,
Tommy, oh, Tommy, we gotta go home"
Pa don't say nothing except when it rains
He sits by the window listening to the sound of passing trains
Going out at night, carrying an empty load
We got a whole lot of grain and ain't got nowhere to go
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, ah baby, bop
Well if drifting prices don't get no higher
I'll fill the duster with gas and set these fields on fire
Sit up on the ridge where the condor fly
And watch the flames rise up against the Sugarland sky
Come on, baby, read me my story
You know us living don't leave me with nothing but boredom
We'll make love in the field till the four winds blow
Say bye bye, baby, It'll be gone, gone, gone
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, bop, baby, bop, bop
Baby, bop, baby, bop, ah
ha ha ha
Whoa-hoo

Whoa-hoo-hoo
