lyrics

Corn shucking in the morning
Working late in the evening
I’ve been saving just to buy a little place
On the edge of town where the rats don’t race
On the edge of town where the rats don’t race

I’ll bake my bread and bag my beans
Homemade wine ain’t as hard as it seems
Well water’s free and there ain’t no price
To a starlit sky on a saturday night

Well water’s free and there ain’t no price
To a starlit sky on a saturday night
Well water’s free, you won’t pay
For a sunny road on a summer day

So take my money and cut the cards
And leave the gambling men to drown in the bars
I can hear my dad as he used to say
There ain’t an honest man without honest pay
Ain’t no honest man without honest pay

Well it’s a pity and it’s a shame
When we trade our time for capital gain
Don’t forget that the corn don’t mind
If you can’t quite pay your rent on time

Don’t forget that the corn don’t mind
If you can’t quite pay your rent on time
Don’t forget that the corn don’t care
If you’re short on your rent or your trolley fare
