DCG Well there's cars on the driveway as you turn into the yard, CGD The casket's in the living room, you look away and swallow hard. DCG Someone hands you a bottle, and you don't know who they are. CGD Ain't it funny how you used to know everybody in these parts. DCG And you hardly knew the dead man, though you spoke a time or to two. CGD He had a wife and two small children, and he lived just like you do.
Chorus: DCG And he died on his tractor, holdin' his end down, CGD Forty acres left to plant and forty in the ground. DCG But he never had a chance, that's what they're saying now. CGD The bank was gonna walk in any day anyhow. DCG And it makes you kind of wonder, as you watch the daylight burn, CGD Wonder if he knew it, wonder if he'd heard.
DCG She's got a crooked smile and there's dark around her eyes. CGD She says she knows she's got to get on with her life. DCG And you stand off the lawn, and look to where the sun sets. CGD And someone says we ain't seen the last of it yet.
Chorus
DCG There's a crop of yellow sunflowers, in the field across the way CGD Makes you sorta grin as you're coming down the lane DCG Three hundred bucks a ton, it's what they said at plantin' time CGD But when it comes to harvest it wasn't worth a dime Source: Phone Lyrics
