Next in Line

The wife's waiting tables in a greasy cafe

And I'm building fence for another man's place

Mmm

 Mmm

So many things you can't control the market, the bank, and the weather

We hung tough despite them all

And we held it together

Mmm

The next in line

 It's up to you

Where you go and what you wanna do

But you know this ranch is home for the next in line

 I'm just a simple man all I'm trying to say

Please don't sell out and move away

I hope the dream will find the next in line

Raised em on this ranch from the beginning

Taught em hard work, faith, and believing

Hoped they'd settle down find a place close by

 The jobs are in the city this towns gone dry

Mmm

Mmm

 Work day's long no more than it pays

And When they go you wonder who's behind em

Mmm

The next in line

It's up to you

 Where you go and what you wanna do

But you know this ranch is home for the next in line

I'm just a simple man all I'm trying to say

Please don't sell out and move away

 I hope the dream will find the next in line

  I wanna pass it on

What was handed down to me

 It's more than dirt and paper

Deeper than the eye can see

Well It's a way of life

And it fits just right on me

 Where you go and what you wanna do

But you know this ranch is home for the next in line

I'm just a simple man all I'm trying to say

 Please don't sell out and move away

 I hope the dream will find the next in line
