lyrics

I'm hitched to that man like a wagon
Two babies and I don't know how
I'll ever be free to live my own life
For now I'm just biding my time

Well I don't know what I was thinking
Too young to know my own mind
I reap what I've sown and my little girls
Live in an unhappy home

And it's a long row to hoe
When the sun on your back leaves you cold
And the rain won't make anything grow
And the dirt on your hands is all you hold

It's a hardscrabble life that I'm living
I fend for myself deep inside
With non one to save me or take me away
Hard times are my price to pay

And it's always the plight of a woman
To give up on all of her cares
Working and waiting, a smile on her face
And inside, a heart full of tears

And it's a long row to hoe
When the sun burning down feels so cold
And the rain won't make anything grow
And the dirt on your hands is all you hold

It's a dark, cloudy day here in my heart
A cold wind blows right through my soul
But I'll set my sights on the farthest horizon
Where sorrow will find me no more

But it's a long row to hoe
When the sun burning down feels so cold
And the rain won't make anything grow
And the dirt on your hands is all you hold

Oh, regret weighs on me like a stone
