Lyrics This Hard Land (Studio Outtake - 1982) - Bruce Springsteen
Well,
hey
there
mister
Can
you
tell
me
what
happened
to
the
seeds
I've
sown
Can
you
give
me
a
reason,
sir
As
to
why
they
never
grown?
They
just
blown
around
from
town
to
town
Back
out
on
to
these
fields
Where
they
fall
from,
from
my
hand
Back
into
the
dirt
of
this
hard
land
Come
on
Well,
me
and
my
sister
From
Germantown,
yeah,
we
did
ride
And
we
made
our
beds,
sir
From
the
rock
on
the
mountain
side
We've
been
blowing
around
from
town
to
town
Looking
for
a
place
to
land
Where
the
sun
could
break
through
the
clouds
and
fall
like
a
circle
A
circle
of
fire
down
on
this
hard
land
Well,
now
even
the
rain
it
don't
come
'round
Don't
come
around
here
no
more
And
the
only
sound
at
night's
the
wind
Slamming
that
back
porch
door
Yeah,
it
stirs
you
up
like
it
wants
to
just
blow
you
down
Twisting
and
churning
up
the
sand
Leaving
all
them
scarecrows
lying
face
down
Into
the
dirt
of
this
hard
land
Well,
from
a
building
up
on
the
hill
I
hear
a
tape
deck
blasting
"Home
On
The
Range"
And
I
can
hear
them
bar
rim
choppers
Sweeping
low
across
the
plains
It's
me
and
you
Frank,
we're
looking
for
lost
cattle
Our
hooves
twisting
and
churning
up
the
sand
Yeah,
we're
riding
in
the
whirlwind,
searching
for
a
treasure
Way
down
south
of
the
Rio
Grande
We're
riding
'cross
that
river
in
the
moonlight
Way
up
onto
the
banks
of
this
hard
land
Well
hey
Frank,
won't
you
pack
your
bags
And
meet
me
tonight
down
at
Liberty
Hall
I
just
want
a
kiss
from
you
my
brother
And
we'll
ride
until
we
fall
We'll
sleep
out
in
the
fields,
we'll
sleep
by
the
rivers
And
in
the
morning
we'll
make
a
plan
Well,
if
you
can't
make
it,
stay
hard,
stay
hungry,
stay
alive
If
you
can
and
meet
me
in
a
dream
of
this
hard
land
Whoa
