[Verse 1] Tractor rusted on our lawn. Waiting for a quiet dawn. Pockets empty, silo dry. Underneath a blinding sky. Rains forgot to come around. Leaving us this cracked and dusty ground. [Chorus] Sunchoke root is bitter hard. Planted out across our yard. Bite it down and taste that grit. We ain't ever going to quit. Hold your land and hold your pride. Standing steady side by side. [Verse 2] Wind is howling through our door. Can't take many beatings more. Neighbors packed and drove away. Couldn't face another day. We just patch our broken roof. Living out a quiet stubborn proof. [Chorus] Sunchoke root is bitter hard. Planted out across our yard. Bite it down and taste that grit. We ain't ever going to quit. Hold your land and hold your pride. Standing steady side by side.
