Farmer's Daughter

Lyrics

Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm
 Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
 Not scared of dirt and willing to work
 'Til the sun goes down
 So I pulled up and said, "I'm your man
 I can start right now" and we shook hands
 He said, "The fence needs fixin', the peaches need pickin'
 And the cows need bringin' round"
 I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs
 And that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog
 So I cooled off in the creek and it was back to work
 In that dead-gum heat
 I was cussin' out loud, thinkin' 'bout quittin'
 Lookin' back now, I'm sure glad I didn't
 'Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
 I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter
 She was just gettin' home from Panama City
 She was all tanned-up and my kind of pretty
 When her eyes met mine I was thinkin' that
 I sure love my job
 As the days got shorter, our talks got longer
 The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
 So we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up
 Every chance we got
 We were down by the river all night long
 When the sun came up, I was sneakin' her home
 And draggin' my butt to work
 With the smell of her perfume on my shirt
 I'd be on the tractor, she'd be on my mind
 With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
 And just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
 I fell in love with the farmer's daughter
 We got married last spring
 Oh, and there ain't no better life for me
 I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
 And that summer sun's got me sweatin' like a dog
 So I cool off in the creek
 And she brings me out a glass of sweet ice tea
 Now I'm on the tractor, she's on my mind
 And I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
 And just when I think it can't get no hotter
 I come home to the farmer's daughter, yeah
