Intro: Dusty old farmer out workin' your fields Hangin' down over your tractor wheels The sun beatin' down turns the red paint to orange And rusty old patches of steel There's no farmer songs on that car radio Just cowboys, truck drivers and pain Well this is my way to say thanks for the meal And I hope there's no shortage of rain Straw hat and old dirty hankies Moppin' a face like a shoe Thanks for the meal here's a song that is real From a kid from the city to you (2x) The combines gang up, take most of the bread Things just ain't like they used to be Though your kids are out after the American dream And they're workin' in big factories If I come by, when you're out in the sun Can I wave at you just like a friend? These days when everyone's takin' so much There's somebody givin' back in Chorus (2x)
