lyrics

Joseph worked the ground
Sweat blood, and tilled the land
Losing what he'd found
The moment it slipped into his hand

Seven years of fat
And twenty seven years of lean
There's no time for looking back
To think about what might have been

Chorus:
O Joseph, don't you hang your head so low
It'll get better now don't you know
You still got a long row left to hoe
So go on, get up Joe

Joseph he hit the bottle
To help dull his misery
Corn squeezins cranked the throttle
On his dependency

Market went into the tank
In the spring of '83
Lost the farm to the bank
And the rest is history

Chorus

Took a job here in town
At the local feed store
Feelin so low to the ground
He can't go on no more

Wind whispering through the field
The corn's already shoulder high
Joseph surveys the yield
With a yearning in his eye

Chorus
