His jaw was cut straight like the handle of Oklahoma
And he stole her heart away to the land that he owned
A young bride who knew that with I do
Would come better or worse and muddy boots
But she loved that man
Like he loved his land
Well the honeymoon was short for the seasons don't wait
But 18 hour days in the field made her young heart ache
But real love means doing what needs to be done
So she dried her eyes and she held her tongue
For she loved that man
So she'd fold her hands
She prayed, Lord I thank you
For this this man and this home
But this open sky and empty house
Has got me feeling all alone
I know his hands have got to hold that plow
It'd be nice if they'd hold me for a change
I pray for strength I pray for patience
And Lord I pray for rain
Any farmers wife will tell you
No day is gonna be perfect
To much of his mood depends on the weather
And that damned old market
His eyes once warm now stare in fear
As he tills up dirt from another dry year
But she loved that man
And she'd wring her hands
She prayed, Lord I thank you
For this land that carries our name
It's a blessing and it's a curse
How one thing can be everything
And I don't be mean to be complaining
But the grounds dry and the banks want payed
I pray for peace I pray for wisdom
And Lord I pray for rain
Fifteen years feels like a life time
When you're with someone and always alone
And the weather, the markets and the bank notes
Were a dive into the great unknown
It turned a simple life for his young wife
Into more than she could take
And when he said the banks are loaning for next year
As long as the interest is paid
Her decision was maid
She loved that man
But not as much as he loved his land
She prayed, Lord I thank you
For each day is truly a gift
You know my intentions
And they never looked like this
But his love for this land's gonna kill him
And I can't stay and watch him dig his own grave
I pray he gets a day of rest
And Lord I pray for rain
I pray he gets a day of rest
And Lord I pray for rain
