Down On The American Farm

Arlo Guthrie

 GCG
 First you run down to the bank & you get yourself a loan
 GDG
 For $80,000 cash you can drive that tractor home
 G
 You can drive all night, you can drive all day
 G
 You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
 GCG
 And you ain't got a worry til the pay-back day
 GDG
 Down on the American Farm

 GCG
 So you get some stuff & you spread it around
 GDG
 To keep the bugs & the animals down
 GCG
 And you spray it on the crops & you pump it on the ground
 GDG
 But the bugs get bigger & attack the folks in town
 G
 You can spray all day, you can spray all night
 G
 But the bugs get bigger & they ain't afraid to fight
 G
 You can drive all night, you can drive all day
 G
 You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
 GCG
 And you ain't got a worry til the pay-back day
 GDG
 Down on the American Farm

 GCG
 Pretty soon the crops come up & you goes to cut 'em down
 GDG
 You put some in a pickup truck & you hauls it all to town
 G
 But the more you grow, the more you spend
 G
 The less it's worth to the market in the end
 G
 You can spray all day, you can spray all night
 G
 But the bugs get bigger & they ain't afraid to fight
 G
 You can drive all night, you can drive all day
 G
 You can drive over anything gettin' in your way
 GCG
 Now it's driving you crazy cuz you can't afford to stay
 GDG
 Down on the American Farm
