Bilingual
I wasn't born a rich man
But I've never been this poor
I moved out west to grab some land
Just to watch it seep through my door
I hoed a row to plant my seeds
In hopes that they would grow
But the winds they came and took my crops
Got nothing left to show
It doesn't really rain 'round here
Just enough to tease
If I could feel a drop of rain
I'd fall down to my knees
So the banks are all closed
The tellers left town
I don't think they're coming back
So it looks like all my money's run away from here
I just got this nickel in the pocket of my shirt
So it's another day of toil and strife
Living this dust bowl dream
The pain and the anguish that I've been through
You just couldn't even begin to believe
It doesn't really rain 'round here
Just enough to tease
If I could feel a drop of rain
I'd fall down to my knees
