First time he saw the ground get busted

He was ten and it was 1952

His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown

And the goin' got tough behind them ol' grey mules

The farm grew to be a moneymaker

And the house he lived in grew up room by room

The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin'

So he slipped away one night 'neath the harvest moon

His neck was red as Alabama clay

But the city's call pulled him away

He's got a factory job and runs a big machine
