Things Are Not the Same On the Land

[Verse 1]
There's no movement today
At the station out back
Just a man with his head in his hands
He'll soon walk away
Just the shirt on his back
Things are not the same on the land
His world floats away as tears flood his eyes
Broken dreams and disappearing plans
The rain will be too late if it waits 'til July
Things are not the same on the land
[Chorus]
Remember the day and the good old country way
When a man who wouldn't work was not a man
But you can never go back
Life's just not like that
Things are not the same on the land
[Verse 2]
We'll soon see the day when the tough won't survive
And we wonder if our leaders understand
The promise of a rainbow won't feed a hungry child
Things are not the same on the land

[Chorus]
Remember the day and the good old country way
When a man who wouldn't work was not a man
But you can never go back
Life's just not like that
Things are not the same on the land
You can never go back
That's just not like that
Things are not the same on the land
