Verse
The Cblood red sun beat down and Fbaked the red clay ground
G7Dust kicked up around his John Deere Cwheels
No trace of rain in sight Fagain he'll lose the fight
And G7have to watch his crops die in the Cfields
They stood there both in tears his Fwife of many years
Said G7John you know I hate to lose our Cfarm
He looked into her eyes then Flooked up at the skies
And G7told her as he held her in his Carms G7
Chorus
In my Cnext life I want to be your Fhero
G7Something better than I turned out to Cbe G7
I've lived Cthis life behind the C7plough and Fhay row
In my G7next life I'll make you proud of Cme F G7
Verse
The Cmuscles in his arms just Flike his run down farm
Soon G7withered and slowly Cdisappeared
One hard workin' man Ftwo hard workin' hands
Were G7givin' up after all these Cyears G7
His Caging eyes grew dim and the Flady that worshipped him
Sat G7cryin' on a chair beside his Cbed
Her hands caressed his brow and she Fsaid it's alright now
And G7as he slowly slipped away he Csaid G7
Chorus
In my Cnext life I want to be your Fhero
G7Something better than I turned out to Cbe G7
I've lived Cthis life behind the C7plough and Fhay row
In my G7next life I'll make you proud of Cme F G7
