Here's To The Farmer

Talk about an uphill battle
 2000 acres of beans and cattle
 But he don't ever get rattled
 He just goes 'til the sun goes down
 Hydraulic fluid on his jeans
 Red dye diesel and ten rows between
 A cold one on the porch and a good nights of sleep
 Y'all hold 'em up with me now
 Here's to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
 That turn from green to that harvest honey
 Hold one up for the banker downtown
 That got him on his feet with handshake money
 Here's to the farmer's wife
 That loves him every night
 Raising a son, raising a daughter
 They gather 'round the table, send it up to the Father
 Somehow they get closer when times get harder

 Subdivision's creeping on in
 Neighborhood kids keep jumping his fence
 He could double his money
 But that'd be the end of a promise he'll never break
 Cause he looked his daddy in the eye
 And he's got that stubborn pride
 He'll be here 'til the day he dies
 No, he wouldn't have it any other way
 Here's to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
 That turn from green to that harvest honey
 Hold one up for the banker downtown
 That got him on his feet with handshake money
 Here's to the farmer's wife
 That loves him every night
 Raising a son, raising a daughter
 They gather 'round the table, send it up to the Father

 Yeah, here's to the farmer that loves his day in the sun
 Won't sell that old half-ton
 Nobody knows better 'bout a hard-earned dollar
 Just tell him how far he's gotta go and he'll go further
 Here's to the farmer
