We've farmed this land for three generations with my daddy and uncle Frank
Yeah, we own three tractors and five hundred acres, we're gonna get ahead, I think
And the crops are all in and the money is counted, we still owe the bank
If I don't pay on time, I won't have a dime to buy you a drink
Cause we're flat busted now, flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
Flat busted now, flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
I was plowing on my tractor in the south back forty, it was hot, dusty and dry
If we don't get some rain, it won't be worth the pain, we're just barely getting by
We're hard working, independent and honest, look you straight in the eye
So what the heck, if they call us rednecks, we're just trying to survive
Cause we're flat busted now, flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
Flat busted now, gonna make it somehow
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
No fields of grain near or far, no cattle raising, no steaks on the fire
No tobacco farmers and no smoky bars for me
Cause we're flat busted now, flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
Flat busted now, flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
Well, I'd hate to inform her, but if Dolly was a farmer, she'd be flat busted now
