Americana
A fictitious farmstead in the US Mid West where a traditional family struggles to keep their
heritage farm going against a backdrop of increasing climate changes and poverty

USA Mid West Farming and Climate Change

Lyrics

Spring comes in through Missouri
Brings a cool terrain
Cold comfort living and the harvest due again
Turn towards the wind as it howls across the plain, in the pouring rain

My father had this land and he worked his fingers black 'n blue
Never complained when the day was through
Proud and strong a man was he...and we loved him

I'm clinging to the dreams I got from you
Hold on to the hope that love grew
Counting on good luck just to see me through
Hell or high water, this I've got to do

Some times it feels like dying and a slowing of the blood
crops fail and livestock, writhing in the mud
the Sun is in the West
the town is in the East
but we stay here

I'm clinging to the dreams I got from you
Hold on to the hope that love grew
Counting on good luck just to see me through
Hell or high water, this I've got to do

Won't you take me on home?
Will you be by my side?
Every step of the way
Through the night and day
Under Wind and Rain
In the dark and light
From Sunrise to Twilight
