Farmer - 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
