Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, bass and drums enter]
[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
A while back there was trouble in my life
So I went to see my grandpa, he always gave me straight advice
He said, "Son, I can't tell you how to make your stand
But the best thing I ever learned was working this here land"
[Chorus]
When the wind breaks the oak tree apart
When the fields need a-tilling but you don't know where to start
When the horses in your stable are getting out of hand
Look deep inside your heart, son, to see the true lay of the land
[Verse 2]
It'll tell you don't compromise yourself for a few dollar bills
Don't park in parking places you can't fill
And don't take advantage just because you can
Look deep inside your heart, son, to see the true lay of the land
[Instrumental Break]
[acoustic guitar and rhythm section continue]
[Verse 3]
When the river is moving too fast for you to swim
When the crops you depend on fail you once again
When the wheel of your tractor is steered by a stranger's hand
Look deep inside your heart, son, to see the true lay of the land
[Outro]
Look deep inside your heart, son, to see the true lay of the land
[acoustic guitar fades out]
