I wrote this song in the early eighties, when the banking industry over extended credit to the farming community. Kinda like they did recently, guess they never learn...
Lyrics
Old Tractor Words & Music By Dan Rocco The auctioneer sings his lonely song, and in a flash another family farm is gone. And in next week's news, the paper read "The Banking Man and the Farmer is Dead." Chorus: The old tractor nobody wanted is rusted, an epitaph to the corporate ways he trusted." Where the corn was tall, the weeds have grown and the "for sale" signs are the seeds now sewn. He lost the land that his daddy gave, he lost the house and his Granddad's grave. Chorus: The old tractor nobody wanted is rusted, an epitaph to the corporate ways he trusted." Now all that's left is his widowed wife the shattered dreams of the farmer's plight. The auctioneer sings his lonely song, and in a flash another family farm is gone. Chorus: The old tractor nobody wanted is rusted, an epitaph to the corporate ways he trusted." The old tractor nobody wanted is now rusted, an epitaph to the corporate ways he trusted." The old tractor nobody wanted is long since rusted
