[Verse 1]
I've been wrong before
And I'll be there again
I don't have any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' back to my house
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early to be leavin' here, somehow
Let me bore you with this story
"How my lover let me down"
While I borrow seeds of sadness from the ground

[Chorus]
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again
There ain't no way of tellin'
Where these seeds will rise or when
I'll just wait around till springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When I'm all done cultivating
I'll be rocking on the porch
Tryin' to picture you and where you are
And there'll be no hesitating
When Cupid lights the torch
With those headlights comin' down the hill
Between the stars

[Chorus]
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again
There ain't no way of tellin'
Where these seeds will rise or when
I'll just wait around 'til springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again

[Outro]
In the field of opportunity
It's plowing time again
