"Agricultural halls are for agricultural music"

Wayne - Letterkenny

lyrics

we live and die and in-between, there’s farm and family
a wheat farmer’s all i ever wanted to be
I took my grades and financial aid, and dad took his chances
with dryland corn in western kansas

now i shine my shoes and they sit me down
after the first of the year
numbers look good, and we’re glad we have you here

gonna bump you up another 5%, look for big things to come
and to show we mean what we say, check your statement at the end of the month
couple years in, I got a few more days
took that new company ride, to the old home place
talk about what’s gonna happen, when dad slows down
say I wish I could come home, but its too late now

Neighbors to the north are moving in
folks still owe on the note, a guy just can’t win
I think i’m being funny, say dad we got no chance
its like dryland corn in western Kansas

each June i make it back
and watch the wheat roll in
dad says son hey thanks for coming probably won’t need you again

the beans turned blue and milo burnt up
probably graze it if we can
corn’s two feet tall if it’s up at all
they adjusted it for 10

I say
at least you don’t have to pray for rain
hide from hail and the sun complain
the frost is comin soonin than you planned
but that’s dryland corn in western Kansas

Dad says son don’t tell me that there's no chance
he says I made it through the 80s
And the executive branch

He put his arm around my momma, call it circumstances
Son I'm rich from dryland corn
In western Kansas


I thank God when pray for rain
hell I wouldn’t know love if it wasn’t for pain
and you’ll find one to share your romances
of dryland corn in western Kansas
thats dryland corn in western Kansas
