Lyrics

Well, it’s a hard day’s work
When you’re living off the land
When you’re digging in the dirt
With your bare hands
But it’s worth all the worry
And every drop of sweat
When you live from your heart
What you give is what you get
All the sons and the daughters
All the people that we knew
They all went off to college
Now they’re making do
But there’s something that is missing
And it grips them through and through
But I found it in the ground
And I brought some back for you

So, let’s build a tiny house
On a sixteen-acre plot
And let’s make a new beginning
And redefine “a lot”
We might lose all the hard stuff
But you’ll always have this spot
Right here, in my heart
‘Cause what you give is what you’ve got
All the sons and the daughters
All the people that we knew
They all went off to college
Now they’re making do
But there’s something that is missing
And it grips them through and through
But I found it in the ground
And I brought some back for you

So, we’ll cultivate the earth
And we’ll cast the seed
Let it grow inside of us
We’ll have all we’ll ever need
I’m so grateful for the bounty
And I’m grateful for the truth
And I’m grateful for the ground
That brought me back to you
