John Deere lunch kid and a thermos full of Kool Aid September harvest and I missed another school day 14 hours worth of dirt and there were lessons learned Waist deep in those fields of gold 7 tons of steel and a twelve year old Working hard just to keep it in a straight line, on the Combine
Hand me down overalls and an a.m. radio Tried to get it right the first time and take it slow Alabama singing 'in a hurry and don't know why' Black clouds and it starts to rain, running short on time and outta faith Nothing you can do but pray for the sun to shine, on the Combine
Every time I climb that ladder It takes me back to things that matter
Eighty acres and a Friday night First date dinner in the cab beneath the moonlight Cushion on a five gallon pail riding shotgun Time goes by like those waves of grain But I remember it like yesterday Where I fell in love for the first time, on the Combine
Working hard just to keep it in a straight line Nothing you can do but pray for the sun to shine Where I fell in love, in love for the first time
