Ordinary Soil

See this hole
I dug her deep
With these two hands
I don’t know
What secrets she keeps
I don’t understand

How a working man
Can kill his land
No matter how he may toil
In ordinary soil

See this field
What used to be
Back when I was young
Plow and steel machinery
All these things I have done

And still a working man
Can kill his land
No matter how he may toil
In ordinary soil

See this hole
I dug her deep
With these two hands
Black as coal like forever sleep
I hope you understand

I’m just a working man
Tired of fighting the land
Gonna let these bones turn to oil
In this ordinary soil
