[Verse 1]
Ben the sand man
Digging dirt, selling muddy stone
Runs the dozer too fast
In third gear, all alone
He cut that pit wide open
Left ruts like railroad tracks
Now the ground keeps shifting
And it keeps pulling back
[Pre-Chorus]
No rain for months
Still the bucket bites
Then the sky turns heavy
And the whole place slides
[Chorus]
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Mud on his boots again
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Grass won't save that pit
Ben the sand man
[Verse 2]
Reclaimed the hole with seed mix
Green hoped for, thin and weak
But the wind kept taking
What he planted in the week
Now the axles bog down deep
By the fence line, by the bend
He spins that wheel so angry
Till the whole day has to end
[Pre-Chorus]
No rain for months
Then it pours for free
Equipment stuck in the mud
Where the road used to be
[Chorus]
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Mud on his boots again
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Grass won't save that pit
Ben the sand man
[Bridge]
He stares at the busted field
At the tracks he made by hand
Every load he ever hauled
Still sinks back into sand
[Final Chorus]
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Mud on his boots again
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Ben the sand man
Grass won't save that pit
Ben the sand man
