She stares out the window fightin' back tears And watches him wastin' his time in the fields They're havin' problems payin' the bills Oh, and she knows that it won't be long before the bank finally places a lien on the farm CHORUS And the tractor keeps rollin', the dust rises high Creating the only Cloud in the sky He's holdin' his ground, but It's gettin' tough He's keepin' his faith in the Lord up above And prayin' for rain through a cloud of dust. repeat intro VERSE 2.

Yeah, he's holdin' his ground but it's gettin' tough, He's keepin' his faith in the lord up above. And prayin' for rain through a cloud of dust. repeat intro.
