bruce springsteen - this hard land (tracks version) lyrics

[verse 1]
well, hey there, mister
can you tell me what happened to the seeds i’ve sown?
can you give me a reason, sir
as to why they’ve never grown?
they’ve just blown around from town to town
back out on to these fields
where they fall from, from my hand
back into the dirt of this hard land (come on)

[verse 2]
now me and my sister
from germantown, yeah, we did ride
and we made our bed, sir
from the rock on the mountainside
we’ve been blowin’ around from town to town
lookin’ for a place to land
where the sun could break through the clouds and fall like a circle
a circle of fire down on this hard land
[verse 3]
well now, even the rain it don’t come ’round
don’t come ’round here no more
and the only sound of the night’s the wind
slammin’ that back+porch door
yeah, it stirs you up like it wants to just blow you down
twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
leavin’ all them scarecrows lyin’ face down
into the dirt of this hard land

[harmonica solo]

[verse 4]
well, from a building up on the hill
i hear a tape deck blastin’ “home on the range”
and i can hear them bar+m choppers
sweepin’ low across the plains
and it’s me and you, frank, we’re lookin’ for lost cattle
our hooves twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
yeah, we’re ridin’ in the whirlwind, searchin’ for a treasure
way down south of the rio grande
we’re ridin’ ‘cross that river in the moonlight
yeah, up onto the banks of this hard land

[verse 5]
well hey frank, won’t you pack your bags
and meet me tonight down at liberty hall?
oh, just one kiss from you, my brother
and we’ll ride until we fall
we’ll sleep out in the fields, we’ll sleep by the rivers
and in the morning we’ll make a plan
well, if you can’t make it stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive, if you can
and meet me in a dream of this hard land (oh)
[harmonica solo]
