[Verse 1]
The rains and the field covered with tar
Can't get a price to see my way clear
I'm sittin' down at the Sugarland bar
You might as well bury my body right here

[Verse 2]
Tractor and combines out in the cold
Sheds piled high with the wheat we ain't sold
Silos filled with last year's crop
If something don't break here, we're all gonna drop

[Verse 3]
My wife's got another comin' in July
She's just layin' up in bed, all she does is cry, cry, cry
"Tommy, oh Tommy, I'm so alone
Tommy, oh Tommy, oh, won't you stay home?"

[Verse 4]
Pa don't say nothin' except when it rains
He sits by the window listenin' to the sound of passin' trains
Roarin' out at night carryin' an empty load
We got a whole lotta grain that ain't got nowhere to go

[Verse 5]
Well, if them prices don't get no higher
I'll fill this duster with gas and set these fields on fire
Sit up on the ridge where bluebirds fly
And watch the flames rise up against the Sugarland sky
