"Farmer" lyrics

He's waking up in the pitch black
Coffee in a cup, out the door 'fore the dawn cracks
A quick prayer in the barn
"Lord, we sure could use some rain"
He climbs up in the tractor
Takes a hundred laps, wakes the kids up after
Get a quick kiss from your baby
Then it's time to start the day

It's giving all you've got to give
And going ten steps farther
It's a dusty caps and coveralls
That you put on like armour
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
Yeah, the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer

It's dinner time at sunset
Knowing that a bunch of folks that you ain't met
Can gather 'round the table
With enough to pass around
It's a good dog and a dirty truck
A hand helping your neighbor up
It's the whole world counting on us
And we ain't gonna let 'em down

It's giving all you've got to give
And going ten steps farther
It's a dusty caps and coveralls
That you put on like armour
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
And the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer

Steady as a fence post
Shoot you straighter than a corn row
The world needs 'em, God knows
That's why He made the farmer

It's giving all you've got to give
And going ten steps farther
It's a dusty caps and coveralls
That you put on like armour
Yeah, the days are long and the work is hard
But your calloused hands are harder
Yeah, the only thing tougher than the farm
Is the farmer

Mhm
God bless the farmer, yeah
