Verse 1:
Weary eyed, fumblin’ out of bed
there’s a Chill in my tent, this morning
Check the
sky, with a sense of dread
feel relief, I don’t see clouds or storming
Stumble to
the mess tent, and make a hasty
lunch
the Block treats look quite tasty, I wanna grab a bunch
Steph is
laughing in the kitchen, Haley’s
making bread
this Heaping plate of food will get me through the day ahead
It’s,
almost, time to plant some trees
Verse 2:
No camp
meeting, so I go to the truck
“Boots bag shovel water lunch”
is my rhyme
the Drive to the block, is, good
we don’t get stuck
we Stop and park, the foreman says, it’s tailgate meeting time
the Block today is pretty big, we’ve got to get ‘er done
let’s Work real hard ‘cause staying late, it wouldn’t be much fun
if Everybody plants 2k, that
should be enough
Watch for
J-roots, close your holes, and don’t
plant trees in duff
Bag, up,
it’s time to plant some trees
Bridge:
Every day I dream about
the Things I’d rather do
but Working in the city has
its
Disadvantages
too
Verse 3:
This was day
three, tomorrow is day four
Last, day,
of the shift, then we’ll have time
to rest
Dinner’s
over, I am tired and sore
it’s Eight o’clock and I need sleep, I start to get undressed
Planting
trees is pretty tough,
the Days are long, the blocks
are rough
Swear that
this year is my last, but
I know that,
I
will be back
Let’s, go,
it’s time to plant some trees
Give, me, a creamy section please
Flat, land, easy on the knees
It, is, time to plant some trees
