Lyrics
Hope It Grows
Verse 1
He's up every morning at the crack or dawn
All day in the clothes that he puts on
Sunup to sundown on an old dirt farm
There ain't one thing that he can't do
He's got it all to gain he's got it all to lose
Feeds his family with every seed he gets to grow
He knows it's a gamble every year
If you ask him what he does to calm his fears
Chorus
Hope it grows, I hope it grows
Put your head down, pray and work hard and hope it grows
Hope it grows, man I hope it grows
Put your head down pray and work hard and hope it grows
Verse 2
Corn in the crib and hay in the barn
Doing all he can to keep the family farm
Works hard everyday in that Missouri sod
PLows his fields with one good mule
And lives his life by the golden rule
Taught to him by his daddy's hand and the Word of God
He knows it's a gamble every year
If you ask him what he does to calm his fears
