Текст песни The Man Who Feeds the Land (Adrian) с переводом

Saw an old cowhand’s house,

It’s full of -H photos,

Show trophies and worn out armchairs.

And the kitchen’s piled with dirty dishes,

Rawhide in the making and the smell of loneliness and sage.

An old Charlie Russell Prince, Remington’s pride,

hung on the wall over the book case holding drinks. Louis and Zane and all the

old black and white books,

bluebottles and rocks off the buttes.

And you laugh at the old man

in the beat up truck.

Smile at the young couple with the kid who can already rope.

But what you don’t see is the breed of man

Who still stands strong to feed this land,

When all you want to do is take his life and love away.

So don’t you underestimate the man who feeds the land.

Hand-crocheted covers on the backs of chairs,

Slippers he’s worn for years and years

Sit by the door among the moccasins and heels.

Old reata out of use, nylon replaced the old time tools;

He still checks heifers horseback,

and feeds with the team.

Counties push for more development,

Banks holler for loans and payments,

H’still finds time to smile at a newborn calf.

And you laugh at the old man

in the beat up truck,

Smile at the young couple with the kid who can already rope,

But what you don’t see is the breed of man,

Who still stands strong to feed this land,

When all you want to do is take his life and love away.

So don’t you underestimate the man who feeds the land, feeds the land.

The big men in the big suits,

they want to put casinos out there on the IM land.

With their «endangered» ideas and left-wing talk,

they want the ranchers to pay the price.

So you can take their water and take their pride,

but the cowhands won’t back down without a fight.

And you can laugh at the old man in the beat up truck. .. smile at the young

couple with the kid who can already rope. .. but what you don’t see is the

breed of man who still stands strong to feed this land. When all you want to do

is take his life and love away. So don’t you underestimate the man who feeds

the land, who feeds the land.

Saw an old cowhand’s house. It’s full of -H photos, show trophies,

and worn out armchairs. ..
