THIS LAND IS KILLING ME Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry for calling, I know it's almost ten
But I just need to talk to someone, I just need a friend
I'm sorry for lying 'cause when I said I'm fine
I'm barely hanging on, I can't sleep at night

[Chorus]
'Cause this land is killing me
Bank said it got six weeks
Yeah, but I ain't seen a drop of rain
For over nine months now
This land is all I know
Four generations have called it home
And I don't wanna be the one
To go and let them down
Yeah, it might be the dustin' dry
But I can hardly breathe
I swear to God, this land is killing me

[Verse 2]
The price of hay keeps rising
Hell, I can barely feed 'em now
And that 4x4 still up on blocks
And that tractor still broke down

[Chorus]
This land is killing me
My bank said it got six weeks
Yeah, but I ain't seen a drop of rain
For over nine months now
This land is all I know
Four generations have called it home
And I don't wanna be the one
To go and let them down
Yeah, it might be the dustin' dry
But I can hardly breathe
I swear to God, this land is killing me

[Bridge]
Yeah I fought fires and [?]
So I know I'll get through
But I'm just in a rough patch man
That's why I'm calling you
Man

[Chorus]
This land is killing me
Bank said it got six weeks
Yeah, you know I tried my best
But I just can't figure this one out
This land is all I know
Four generations have called it home
Hell and I don't wanna be the one
To go and let them down
Yeah, it might be the dustin' dry
But I can hardly breathe
Oh, it might be the years I spent
Out working in this heat
But I swear to God, this land is killing me
It's killing me
Man, it's killing me

I wrote this one after a phone call from a friend who lives on the land. He just needed to get some stuff off his chest. I want RAISED LIKE THAT to be a celebration of the land and life in the country, but there are also some harsh realities that come with living life on the land. Mental health with...
