Say this deal's about over, and I guess that's true
Town used to have twelve stores, now we got two
Big boys movin' in, small farmers movin' on
The way may be goin', but the life ain't gone

On a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high
And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky
Ah, you get the feelin' things may be alright
On a summer evenin' before the dark of night

Walked down by the river where my good fields are
It's a dusty old road, but there ain't many cars
Think about my wife, my daughter and my son
If the good Lord's still lookin', the Lord's will be done

But on a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high
And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky
Ah, you get the feelin' things may be alright
On a summer evenin' before the dark of night

Mmm, on a summer evenin' when the corn's head-high
And there's more lightnin' bugs than stars in the sky
Ah you get the feelin' things may be alright
On a summer evenin' before the dark of night
On a summer evenin' before the dark of night
