December

[Verse 1] Help me mother holler 'cause I hear that I must go To a place they say that grass don't grow I'm just a farmer callous crusted hands of steel And a heart I wish I could not feel Numb it 'til I cannot understand That when you kill the dream you kill the man Blind me to the trucks and moving vans That rip me from my land That rip me from my land [Chorus] I can't say what will come my way When December comes and goes Cold winds blow on the status quo When December comes and goes Hearts will fade when they must change When December comes and goes Nothing grows, no fruit no rose When December comes and goes [Verse 2] Save me sister forest can I sing with you a song 'for I'm where there is no right or wrong Pray the Lord to take me from the sadness and the hurt And rinse my blood out of this dirt Whiskey take me down 'til I can't stand Take from me my head, heart, health and hands When you rip the roots out of this land You also tear the soul The soul out of the man [Chorus] I can't say what will come my way When December comes and goes Cold winds blow on the status quo When December comes and goes Hearts will fade when they must change When December comes and goes Nothing grows no fruit no rose When December comes and goes [Lead Break] [Chorus] I can't say what will come my way When December comes and goes Cold winds blow on the status quo When December comes and goes Hearts will fade when they must change When December comes and goes Nothing grows no fruit no rose When December comes and goes When December comes and goes When December comes and goes
