Farmer John got a job in the city Mixing paints at the home depot Got a chip on his shoulder He carries it around with him everywhere he goes He misses praying for the rain And waiting for the spring There's something about change And everything it takes away Got a sink full of dishes Got a sinking heart Got a funny feeling Got no place to start All this holding out Feels a little like holding on When you're walking on the right side of the wrong The Lord he still might care He might try and let you know I've heard the whispers of the Holy In the cackle of the crow I got tired of being proud Tired of standing my ground There's just something about my faith It always seems to let me down Got a sink full of dishes Got a sinking heart Got a funny feeling Got no place to start All this holding out Feels a little like like holding on When you're walking on the right side of the wrong
