corb lund – s lazy h lyrics
i was born in this valley
on this ranch i was raised
i learned to lope, rope, and dally
on the s lazy h
the roots of my people
they run deep on this place
i am sixth generation
on the s lazy h
when it came to the future
i never gave it a thought
if there were broncs to be broken
endless steers to be caught
my youth, it was carefree
for the work was my play
and what i loved would always be there
on the s lazy h
i had one beloved sister
a few years younger than me
before a sole cowboy had kissed her
she left for school in the east
me, i might have gone to college
i might have liked to fly planes
but my dad needed help
to run the s lazy h
so i worked there alongside him
put a lot of years in this place
and i gained appreciation
for the lines on his face
and when mom had grown older
and when dad p-ssed away
it fell to me to look after
the s lazy h
by now my sister, she had married
a sharp attorney at school
we didn’t see eye to eye
but i did my best to make peace
what did they see when they over
over the fence one fine day
they saw a whole lot of value
in the s lazy h
so after thought and -ssessment
the court awarded them half
and no cow-calf operation
carries that kind of cash
well i worked through the numbers
worked them every which way
yeah i went through the numbers
oh, and boys i’m afraid
i had to sell twenty sections
of the s lazy h
sometimes right isn’t equal
sometimes equal’s not fair
there will soon be rows of houses
on that ridge over there
many lifetimes of labor
will be all but erased
shed a tear and look skyward
god help the s lazy h
the last few years were a struggle
but i gave it my best
and i tried to go forward
on the land that was left
i have lived with the sorrow
and i will die with the shame
for now the bank owns what’s left
of the s lazy h
