mike ryan - forgiveness and rain lyrics

[verse 1]
i grew up out in the country
on my daddy’s tobacco farm
he said his family feedin’ habits
and that weighed heavy on his heart
my uncle jake, he liked camel menthols
two packs a day until he died
i think my daddy took it hardest
was the only time i saw him cry

[chorus]
he said, “son, i make a living
off them crops out in the field
if it ain’t me who plants them seeds
there’s someone else who will
the way i justify it
they’re gonna buy it either way
i don’t smoke it, i just grow it
and i pray for forgiveness and rain”
[verse 2]
nowadays in hayden county
tobacco fields, there’re hard to find
blame it on the surgeon general
but it’s diversify or die
now you got cotton and you got cattle
you got corn and you got me
it ain’t legal what i’m growing
but i got hungry mouths to feed

[chorus]
and i just make a living
off them crops out in the field
if it ain’t me who plants them seeds
there’s someone else who will
the way i justify it
they’re gonna buy it either way
i don’t smoke it, i just grow it
and i pray for forgiveness and rain

[outro]
and there’s two things i don’t wanna see
that’s a drought or dea
i don’t smoke it, i just grow it
and i pray for forgiveness and rain
