[00:14.72]Talk about an uphill battle
[00:17.88]2000 acres of beans and cattle
[00:22.33]But he don't ever get a rattle
[00:24.55]He just goes 'til the sun goes down
[00:29.14]Hydraulic fluid on his jeans
[00:32.14]Red dye diesel and ten rows between
[00:35.58]A cold one on the porch and a good night's sleep
[00:38.71]Y'all hold 'em up with me now
[00:41.53]Here's to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
[00:46.29]That turn from green to that harvest honey
[00:49.88]Hold one up for the banker downtown
[00:53.35]That got him on his feet with handshake money
[00:57.45]Here's to the farmer's wife that loves him every night
[01:04.10]Raising a son or raising a daughter
[01:07.61]They gather 'round the table, send it up to the Father
[01:11.26]Somehow they get closer when times get harder
[01:17.22]Here's to the farmer
[01:25.87]Subdivisions creeping on in
[01:29.01]Neighborhood kids keep jumping his fence
[01:32.26]He could double his money but
[01:35.81]Double promise it never break
[01:40.02]Cause he looked his daddy in the eye
[01:43.61]And he's got that stubborn pride
[01:46.94]He'll be here 'til the day he dies
[01:49.98]No, he wouldn't have it any other way
[01:52.59]Here's to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
[01:57.38]That turn from green to that harvest honey
[02:01.14]Hold one up for the banker downtown
[02:04.45]That got him on his feet with handshake money
[02:08.73]Here's to the farmer's wife that loves him every night
[02:15.22]Raising a son or raising a daughter
[02:18.76]They gather 'round the table, send it up to the Father
[02:22.37]Somehow they get closer when times get harder
[02:28.23]Here's to the farmer
[02:39.68]Yeah
[02:42.24]Here's to the farmer that loves his day in the sun
[02:47.42]Won't sell that old half-ton
[02:50.79]Nobody knows better 'bout a hard-earned dollar
[02:57.37]Just tell him how far he's gotta go and he'll go farther
[03:03.76]Here's to the farmer
[03:10.52]Here's to the farmer
[03:18.73]Thank you, boys
