Farmer Lyrics


Such a great song.  Every time I hear it, I am reminded of my Grandpa Chester and my dad.

Hearing Lee sing it at last year's Farm Progress Show was extra cool.



"FARMER"

Writer(s): Adam Wood, Billy Montana, Lee Brice


It's waking up in the pitch black

Coffee in a cup, out the door 'fore the dawn cracks

Quick prayer in the barn "Lord, we sure could use some rain"

Climb on up in the tractor

Take a hundred laps, wake 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, then going ten steps farther

It's a dusty cap and coveralls that you put on like armor

The days are long, the work is hard, but your calloused hands are harder

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 good dog and a dirty truck, a hand helping your neighbor up

It's the whole counting on us, and we ain't gonna let 'em down


It's giving all you've got to give, then going ten steps farther

It's a dusty cap and coveralls that you put on like armor

The days are long, the work is hard, but your calloused hands are harder

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, then going ten steps farther

It's a dusty cap and coveralls that you put on like armor

The days are long, the work is hard, but your calloused hands are harder

The only thing tougher than the farm, is the farmer




Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt



P.S. Back in 2015, I featured another cool song about farming:
