[Intro - 4 bars] [Lo-Fi Analog Vinyl Crackle] [Nyabinghi Hand Drums & Upright Bass Groove] (Verse 1) I used to just sit back and watch the garden grow Safe behind the moonlight, taking it real slow Green leaves turning under a lazy summer sky Counting on a rain cloud, Every other day (Chorus) When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go No more waiting for the seeds to grow The ground is giving up what it's been holding inside The frost is on the fence line, there ain’t no place to hide When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go [Short Instrumental Interlude - 4 bars] [Combo Organ Lead - Nyabinghi Hand Drums and Upright Bass] (Verse 2) The quiet days are over, the wagons line the street Gotta put the boots on, gotta find your feet Can't just be a witness when the heavy lifting starts Time to bring the gold in and load up all the carts (Chorus) When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go No more waiting for the seeds to grow The ground is giving up what it's been holding inside The frost is on the fence line, there ain’t no place to hide When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go [Middle Eight - 8 bars instrumental bridge] [Sparse Verse Break - Pedal Steel Guitar Licks & Steel Pan Flourishes] [Nyabinghi Drum Groove - Upright Bass Walk] [Dynamic Build] (Verse 3) I look back at that rocker sitting empty on the floor I ain't that sleepy dreamer staring out the door There's a fire in the engine, there’s a cold wind at my back We're putting down the heavy loads and rolling down the track (Chorus) When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go No more waiting for the seeds to grow The ground is giving up what it's been holding inside The frost is on the fence line, there ain’t no place to hide When harvest comes to town, time to get up and go (Outro) [Call-and-Response Vocal Chop Drop] Time to get up and go Watch the garden grow, no more When harvest comes to town Time to get up and go [Instrumental Outro Fade - 8 bars] [Combo Organ & Steel Pan Flourishes Fade Out]
