Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Amber Waves Of Grain

If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear

And there were no wheat or barley anywhere

Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man

Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan'

The farm just won't get tended, if the farmer isn't here

And the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear

There's a railroad train that's on it's way to no where

Never to return again this way

Will the future farmer board this train to no where

Is there nothin' we can do to help him stay

Can we get rid of that foreign aid to the farmer over here

Or the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear

If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear

And there were no wheat or barley anywhere

Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man

Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan'

Can we sink a bit of some foreign aid to the farmer over here

Or the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' may disappear
