Kern River Lyrics - Tulare Dust: A Songwriters' Tribute To Merle Haggard - Merle Haggard

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
