we've been through hard times living on the land
but it's the hard times that we understand
there's been laughter and there's been tears
but we came through those fifty years
we saw the boys grow
turn into men
heard the women say it'll rain again
we sang with joy
quick are the shears
yeah
we came through those fifty years
together
together
together for fifty years
dry weather
cold weather
rainy weather for fifty years
now there's grandkids and some will go
no guarantees with the seeds you sow
and we will nurture
tell 'em all we know
we'll watch them learn and we'll watch them grow
we've been through hard times living on the land
but it's the hard times that we understand
there's been laughter and there's been tears
but we came through those fifty years
yes
we came through those fifty years
