My sweet mother gets up so early in the morning
                               E
She turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee
   A                               A7                  D
My daddy fills his tractor up with diesel to plant the corn
           A                 E              A
And that's how it was on the day that I was born
 
[Verse]
A                                  D                   A
Well the days they went by and the bins filled up with grain

My mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain
    A                                        A7             D
The town got too big for its britches and the government it came
    A           E            A
And now it will never be the same

No one moves away with no money
 
They just do what they can
   F#m                   A
To live in the heart of America
                            E
Getting by on their own two hands
 
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
           D
But at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain
         E         A
We just do what we can

[Verse]
A                                D                  A
Some time back in eighty-sixwhen big banks took the throne
                                    E
They asked about every local farmer try to dry his own corn
        A
But the men in the suits had a bigger plan
        A7            D
Than to let it be our own
         A                  E                 A
When the crops came in that spring, they were blown
 
A                                     D                 A
And Neil and Willie tried so hard and battles they have gone
                                  E
But that was still long after the bigger war had been won
A                                          A7           D
No one was there to save the wheat and the cattle at my home
     A          E               A
They took every field my family owned
 
 
[Chorus]
E
No one moves away with no money
 
They just do what they can
   F#m                   A
To live in the heart of America
                            E
Getting by on their own two hands
 
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
           D
But at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain, if the bank it don't break
         E         A
We just do what we can
         E           A
You just do what you can
