Lyrics

There’s a house down in the valley
Where they like their whiskey neat
They chop their wood for fire
And grow the food they eat

But lately things is different
The crops don’t want to show
They aint seen the sun in days
And its far too cold to grow

The temperatures keep dropping
Say that it aint so
The forecasts looking bleak
No telling when it’ll slow
Ain’t no way of stopping the lowest of the low
If there’s any chance at all
Well this ice has got to go

They dont ask for nothing
And nothing’s all they need
Just the water sun and air
To grow the bush from seed

Old man down the road
Needs more than they can bear
But it’s hard to lend a helping hand
When there’s nothing left to spare

In their dreams
The sun is bright
The air is warm
The corn is high

That’s the way so they say
We grow from day to day
In the fields of our lives
We’re all trying to survive

They stand out in the morning
Just staring at the field
Like something’s gotta give
Or nothing’s gonna yield

This ain’t no way of living
This ain’t the hand we’re dealt
There ain’t no flowers blooming
This ice has got to melt

This ain’t no way of living
This ain’t the hand we’re dealt
There ain’t no flowers blooming
This ice has got to melt
