[Verse]
The sun beats down
No mercy found
Hands are calloused
Dirt on the ground
The plow’s a monster
It don’t stop
Iron strings sing
They twist and pop
[Chorus]
Fields won't quit and the sky don’t care
Sweat pours down but the clouds aren’t there
Each row’s a novel
Each step’s a fight
Iron strings hum through the day and night
[Verse 2]
Blistered palms holding hope too tight
Roots won’t budge
They grip with spite
The whistle of the wind cuts sharp as a blade
Iron strings groan as the daylight fades
[Bridge]
The earth don't bend
It just takes what it's owed
The weight’s on my shoulders
In my heart it grows
Every patch of soil like a secret it keeps
Iron strings cry while the world just sleeps
[Verse 3]
The moon comes up
A soft relief
But the dirt still clings to my disbelief
One step forward
Two steps stay
Iron strings echo through break of day
[Chorus]
Fields won't quit and the sky don’t care
Sweat pours down but the clouds aren’t there
Each row’s a novel
Each step’s a fight
Iron strings hum through the day and night
