ben rolofson - snake river lyrics

(one, two, three, ‘fo)

[verse 1]
my family grows potatoes in south central idaho
we’ve owned a thousand acres since i was eight years old
corporations takin’ over area for closed down land
without a bank loan in your corner, it’s so hard to take a stand
travel far to see my father every single veteran’s day
my wife and i buy flowers and put them near the grave
feels like i’m in a battle no one knows is being fought
i work hard just like he taught me, i hope he knows it’s not my fault

[verse 2]
the crop won’t keep in the cellar, forced to take the company’s hand
50 cents per hundred less than ’cause they just drove us off our land
wish i could warn everybody, people need to be aware
but potatoes are still too cheap for most anyone to care

[chorus]
family farms are dissapearin’, no one seems to have a clue
there’s no more lonesome feelin’ than the sad and empty truth
there’s no more lonesome feelin’ than the sad and empty truth
[verse 3]
so i look down at snake river, i sit and watch the water flow
i don’t know what we’re gonna do and i don’t know where we’re gonna go
there’s an owl on that fencepost watchin’ the sun move down the line
i guess what the dust desires will always turn the wheel of time
