The field Behind the Plow

Stan Rogers

Transposer:

Watch the field__ behind the plow__ turn to straight__ dark__ rows__ Feel the trickle_ in_ your clothes__ blow the dust cake from your nose__ Hear__ the tractor's__ steady roar_ Oh you can't__ stop_ now__ There's a quarter_ section_ more_ or less_ to go___ And it_ figures__ that the rain__ keeps its own__ sweet__ time__ You can watch it_ come for miles__ but you guess you've got a while__ So ease_ the throttle__ out a hair_ every rod's___ a gain__ And there's victory__ in_ every_ quarter_ mile__ Poor old_ Kuzyk__ down the road_ The heartache__ hail and hoppers__ brought_ him down__ He gave it up_ and went_ to town__ And Emmett Pierce__ the o_-ther day_ Took a heart_ attack_ and_ died_ at for_-ty two__ You could see it_ coming_ on__ 'cause he worked_ as hard_ as |C _ _ _|_ _ G _|Am _ _ _|Am _ you____ __ In_ an hour_ maybe more_ you'll be wet__ clear__ through__ The air is cooler now_ pull your hat brim further down_ And watch the field__ behind the plow__ turn to straight__ dark__ rows__ Put another_ season's_ promise_ in the ground__ And if the har-_vest's any good__ The money_ just might cover__ all the loans__ You've mortgaged all__ you own__ Buy the kids__ a win_-ter coat_ Take the wife back east for Christmas__ if you can__ All summer_ she hangs_ on__ when you're so tied_ to_ the |C _ _ _|_ _ G _|Am _ _ _|Am _ land____ __ For the good times__ come and_ go__ but at least_ there's_ rain_ So this won't be barren_ ground__ when September_ rolls around_ So watch_ the field__ behind the plow__ turn to straight__ dark__ rows__ Put another_ season's_ promise_ in the ground__ Watch the field__ behind the plow__ turn to straight__ dark__ rows__ Put another_ season's_ promise_ in the ground_

La chanson évoque la vie des agriculteurs, le dur labeur qu'ils fournissent sur leurs terres. On y ressent l'angoisse des attentes face aux caprices de la météo et le besoin d’espoir, alors qu'ils mettent leurs efforts dans la culture, malgré les difficultés et les pertes. Les personnages mentionnés représentent ceux qui ont vu leur rêve s'évanouir à cause des épreuves. Ce tableau dépeint un cycle de labeur et de résilience, tout en soulignant l'importance de chaque saison dans le cycle de la vie. La promesse de la récolte symbolise l'espoir et la continuité, même lorsque le chemin est parsemé d’obstacles.
