Lyrics:

Bring the horses to water
The last light of the sun
Wear that dirt and sweat with pride
Today’s works all done

It’s a simple life, but we know what’s right
Part of his plan, God provided this land
Can I hear an Amen my friend

It’s a simple truth, from the seed to the root
The fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soil
Sustenance again

Clean your hands and wash your face
Leave those dirty boots by the door
Stow away the tools of the trade
There’s no need to work anymore

It’s a simple life, but we know what’s right
Part of his plan, God provided this land
Can I hear an Amen my friend

It’s a simple truth, from the seed to the root
The fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soil
Sustenance again

When the veil of the evening falls
Stars hail in the night
Gather round with the loved ones
Feel the warmth of the fire

It’s a simple life, but we know what’s right
Part of his plan, God provided this land
Can I hear an Amen my friend

It’s a simple truth, from the seed to the root
The fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soil
Sustenance again

About the Song: 

A deep cut from the Ram’s upcoming album, “Warmth of the Fire” is a prayer to rural America.  A subdued reflection on being raised on a small farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania;  five children, two widowed grandmothers, and legendary parents.

We were raised to help others.  Neighboring farmers worked together, and supported one another.  With the family’s blessing, our neighbors kept their livestock free roaming by the farmhouse.  In the evenings, they’d come over and bring the horses to water.  My father’s bond with the land was his gift to each of his children, his spirit looks over those farmlands.

“With love comes sustenance.”
