My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain.
Easy for you to say. You’re the one who got plowed. I was doing the plowing.
I grew up hard. I picked cotton and plowed with the mule and fixed the cars and played with the guitar and the piano.
I quickly learned that if I kept at it and plowed right through the rejections I would eventually get somebody to buy my wares.
The plow is one of the most ancient and most valuable of man's inventions; but long before he existed the land was in fact regularly plowed, and still continues to be thus plowed by earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly organized creatures.
Old MacDonald had a farm-until America's corporate animal factories plowed it under.
I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then Id go baseball, and then Id go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.
