[Verse 1] Before the sun shakes loose I’m down at the mill Apron on, gloves worn thin By the old iron wheel Canola bags stacked high Like a summer of gold We feed that crop to the grinder And watch it turn to load [Pre-Chorus] Hear that low hum roll Through the loading bay Every seed got a story From the fields to the tray And I know my place When the line starts to sing [Chorus] Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Oil runs gold from the county ring Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Hard work turns, and the good Lord brings What the dirt gave up What the hands can keep Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs We make that oil from canola seed [Verse 2] Maggie runs the scale board Hank cuts the sacks Little red truck backs in slow With the morning’s pack I wipe my brow on a sleeve Keep the belts lined true There’s a pride in the clean pour When the jar goes amber through [Pre-Chorus] Every cracked open shell Every borrowed mile Turns into supper And a neighbor’s smile And I can hear that river Underneath the machine [Chorus] Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Oil runs gold from the county ring Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Hard work turns, and the good Lord brings What the dirt gave up What the hands can keep Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs We make that oil from canola seed [Bridge] Come harvest frost or thunder We clock in and we stay With a little grit and patience We chase the waste away From the bin to the bottle From the field to the flame It ain’t fancy, but it feeds us And it carries our name [Chorus] Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Oil runs gold from the county ring Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs Hard work turns, and the good Lord brings What the dirt gave up What the hands can keep Riverbend Springs, Riverbend Springs We make that oil from canola seed
