Lyrics Farmer's Lament - Parker Millsap, Michael Rose

Farmer's Lament

God’s just takin' pictures
No reason to run
Lightning’s just his flashbulb
Thunder’s just his gun
Shootin' holes in the clouds
So the rain’ll fall out
Onto this forsaken ground
Shootin' holes in the clouds
So the rain’ll fall out
Onto this forsaken ground
Now
Weeds were made for pullin'
Seeds were made to sow
The sun was made to burn you
God wants you to know
How it feels in hell
So you don’t sell
Your soul for some wishin' well
How it feels in hell
So you don’t sell
Your soul for some wishin' well
Now
But I’ll make it out
'Cause all my life
I been pushed down
broken pals
And a burned-up house
And drought
My mama said before her
Beating heart gave out
«Son, don’t get down
«Just listen for the trumpet sound»
