5 Acres of Turnips Lyrics
Five acres of turnips ripe for the picking
The sweat and the blood oughta be enough
To keep me going
A heart and a trowel, the will to keep spinning
Faith that's untamed, a prayer for the rain
So the rows will keep growing
Don't take it for granted, reap what you're planted
Generations of shame in my granddaddy's name
Tear in the screen door, lettin' the flies in
The radio's on, the sweetest of songs, but I know they're lyin'
Secrets just simmer, Mama makes dinner
Then we all gather 'round another hole in the ground
Something beautiful comes out of this earth
Something better than him at his worse
One at a time, dead on the vine
Five acres of turnips, ripe for the picking
The sweat and the blood oughta be enough
To keep me going
The sweat and the blood oughta be enough
To keep me going
Faith that's untamed, a prayer for the rain
So the rows will keep growing
Generations of shame in my granddaddy's name
The radio's on, the sweetest of songs, but I know they're lyin'
Then we all gather 'round another hole in the ground
Something better than him at his worse
One at a time, dead on the vine
The sweat and the blood oughta be enough
To keep me going
