First time he saw the ground get busted
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He was ten and it was 1952
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And the goin' got tough behind them ol' grey mules
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The farm grew to be a moneymaker
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And the house he lived in grew up room by room
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin'
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So he slipped away one night 'neath the harvest moon
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
His neck was red as Alabama clay
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But the city's call pulled him away
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He's got a factory job and runs a big machine
