Diggin' ('Til The Corn Comes Up)

Five a.m. 'til late at night

He's workin' the dirt they treat him like

Plant them seeds in the ground

Waitin' for rain to come down

Mortgage payments coming late

Money's gettin' tight and the bank won't wait

He's still diggin', diggin'

Tryin' to make a livin', livin'

A cloud of dust he's kickin', kickin'

Ain't givin' up, he's stickin', stickin'

He keeps prayin', prayin'

No matter what they're sayin' sayin'

Let their heads keep shakin' shakin', shakin'

He ain't quittin' 'Til The Corn Comes Up

Farm the land, raise his kids

Just like his great grandpa did

This old town ain't the same

Now his neighbors got corporate names

He ain't workin' at the grocery store

'Til the Sheriff come bangin' on the farmhouse door

He's still diggin', diggin'

Tryin' to make a livin', livin'

A cloud of dust he's kickin', kickin'

Ain't givin' up, he's stickin', stickin'

He keeps prayin', prayin'

No matter what they're sayin' sayin'

Let their heads keep shakin' shakin', shakin'

He ain't quittin' 'Til The Corn Comes Up

Prayers go up as the farmer kneels

Sun sinks down on an empty field

Silo's full, the bills are paid

One more harvest God has made

He swears a vow to all his kin

Next year he's gonna do it all again

He's still diggin', diggin'

Tryin' to make a livin'

A cloud of dust he's kickin', kickin'

Ain't givin' up, he's stickin'

He keeps prayin', prayin'

No matter what they're sayin' sayin'

Let their heads keep shakin' shakin', shakin'

He ain't quittin' 'Til The Corn Comes Up

He ain't quittin' 'Til The Corn Comes Up
