Close to the Land - Michael Martin Murphey (迈可-马丁-墨菲)
Way before the sun comes up
Already on his second cup
He's looking out across the open sky

As streaks of orange pink and gray
Wash over rows of new mown hay
The rangeland fills a cowboy's heart with pride

He rises slowly from his chair

His back is stiff grey's in his hair

He's spent a lot of lone days in the sun

He ain't one much to complain
He saddles up takes the reins
And rides har till his working day is done

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man

In America's heartland living close to the land

There's a love for the country
And a pride in the brand

In America's heartland living close to the land

Close to the land

When the sun is high overhead
She's been eight hours out of bed

She's still got a lot of work to do

Pulling weeds an' patchin' jeans
And keepin' faith when times are lean
She does a man's work and a woman's too

She'll run a tractor water stock
Fix the truck then feed her flock
But somehow she gets roses from the ground

She ain't got a thing to prove
She simply does what she must do

From early morning till the sun goes down

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man

In America's heartland living close to the land

There's a love for the country

And a pride in the brand

In America's heartland living close to the land

In America's heartland close to the land

There's something that the people know

Who make things live and make things grow

Deeper than the words of any sage

That unless you've touched this earth
Planted seeds or given birth
The human heart can never come of age

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man
In America's heartland living close to the land
There's a love for this country
And a pride in the brand

In America's heartland living close

Close to the land

In America's heartland close to the land

In America's heartland close to the land
