[Verse 1] I sowed that corn in a straight-up line Worked all spring with my bare hands Then I heard that grunting in the dark By the back fence, down in the sand Moon came up and the rows looked torn Like a storm had walked through mad But it wasn't wind and it wasn't rain It was a hundred black backs [Pre-Chorus] I ran out there with a flashlight beam Saw them rootin' through my pay Snouts in the dirt, ears in the breeze Turned my whole hard year to hay [Chorus] Wild bores, wild bores Tearin' up my rows Wild bores, wild bores Eatin' what I grow (Leave my field alone) Wild bores, wild bores Run before the dawn If you want my supper Go find your own lawn [Verse 2] They plowed my beans like they owned the place Flipped my melons clean in half Left hoof prints sunk in the red clay mud And a trail of broken stalks I patched that fence with a roll of wire Set a trap by the cedar stump But they came back fat and fearless Like they knew I'd had enough [Pre-Chorus] You can hear 'em snort past the cotton edge When the wind goes quiet and still They don't care about a farmer's curse Or a month's worth of work to kill [Chorus] Wild bores, wild bores Tearin' up my rows Wild bores, wild bores Eatin' what I grow (Leave my field alone) Wild bores, wild bores Run before the dawn If you want my supper Go find your own lawn [Bridge] Now the county man says, "Hold your nerve" Like this happens every day But he ain't the one with a mud-slick heart Watchin' his money walk away So I got my dogs and a lantern bright And I pray for a colder night 'Cause one more raid on a little man's crop Might start a country fight [Final Chorus] Wild bores, wild bores Tearin' up my rows Wild bores, wild bores Eatin' what I grow (Leave my field alone) Wild bores, wild bores Run before the dawn If you want my supper Go find your own lawn (Go find your own lawn)
