West Texas forecast, more of the same 
D                  Bm    A 
Sunny and mild, no chance of rain 
G                       D                       Bm 
That old John Deere Tractor ain't moved in days, 
        G                              A 
Oh, But he's out there climbin' back on 
             G                                  A                     D 
'Cause he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone. 
 
SAME PATTERN AS ABOVE FOR THE VERSES. 
       
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 
 
               G                       C       
And the tractor keeps rollin', the dust rises high 
G              D     Bm                 A               
Creating the only Cloud in the sky 
G                      C 
He's holdin' his ground, but It's gettin' tough 
      G            D                Bm          A 
He's keepin' his faith in the Lord up above 
        G                                           D            A 
And prayin' for rain through a cloud of dust. 
 
repeat intro 
 
VERSE 2. 
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 bare to let go 
After all it's the only life he's ever known 
 
repeat chorus x2. 
 
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. 
 
repeat intro.
