Story Behind The Song

A young woman has grown up on her family's farm-she knows the farm is in trouble and wants to get out of the family business. The drought is symbolic of her feeling trapped by her life because she doesn't want to disappoint her parents.

Song Description

A young woman longs to escape her small town farm life and pursue her dreams in the great big world

Lyrics

I gaze into an August wind
Blazing sun burns through my skin
And the crops crumble from my hands
Banker's coming for our land

Daddy doesn't wanna leave
He says this farm was meant for me
But this dry and dusty earth ain't yielding what it's worth

I WISH IT WOULD RAIN, FLOOD THIS TERRAIN
LET IT POUR FOR DAYS AND DAYS
I WISH IT WOULD DROWN THIS TROUBLED GROUND
AND FILL A RIVER FIT TO CARRY ME AWAY
LET IT RAIN

Up at four, bone tired by eight
But I want more than this small town fate
Sleepless with the growing guilt
How can I leave all that Daddy's built

Mamma says she understands
I can't be tied down to this land
My dreams are signed and sealed far beyond these fields

CHORUS

Bridge
Daddy I wish that you could see
This is something we both need
Cause we are desperate for a change
But our dreams are not the same

CHORUS
