Tractor

Before the sun came up
 He sipped that coffee black
 Slid on his muddy boots
 Pulled down his feed store cap
 He taught me how to grease the points
 On that massey 2-4-0
 But I was way too busy
 Didn't really care to go
 So he worked the fields alone
 But what I didn't know
 Up on that tractor
 Things might be faster in the world
 But big wheels rollin' slow
 Help you see what's important
 What really does matter

 Just like the dirt is black
 So do the years fly by
 He stayed home with mom
 I travelled far and wide
 And like a good man does
 He listened when I called
 Told him 'bout my crazy life
 And all the things I saw
 But when it was time to go
 He wanted me to know
 Up on that tractor
 Things might be faster in the world
 But big wheels rollin' slow
 Help you see what's important
 What really does matter
 Up on that tractor
 It tore my world apart
 When god took him away
 Didn't get to say goodbye
 And I miss him everyday
 When all the fields grew up
 This is right back where I came
 Up on that tractor
 Things might be faster in the world
 but big wheels rollin' slow
 Up on that tractor
 Things might be faster in the world
 but big wheels rollin' slow
 Help you see what's important
 What really does matter
 I know even more now
 What really does matter
