Sun cracks through the dusty pain.
Rooster crows his morning call
Mama's up before the rain.
Answers to a different drawl
Coffee's strong and heart beats true.
Boots lace up, no time to spare
Out the door with skies of blue.
A farmer's burden she can bear
Mom on the farm,
Hands strong and brown
Cows from the plow,
Sweat on her brow
Out to climb and prowl.
Works the land somehow
Tending fields, feeding life,
A ribbon in her soul
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Sun climbs high, bursts down in hay.
Mending fences never quits
Feeding chickens come what may.
The harvest waits for nimble wits
Sun gets low, fades sky of fire.
Muscles ache, a weary sigh
Suffer sinners, loves the pyre.
A farmer's spirit burns so high
Mom on the farm, hands strong and brown.
Cows from the plow, sweat on her brow
Tending fields, feeding life, a ribbon in her soul
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Stars beguile, they count the spikes.
Fireflies flicker, soft and bright
Mama with this future facts, for children they delight
They'll learn to dance, the lesson man.
The lesson's etched in sweat and sea
It's life again, from hand to hand.
A farmer's heart, a precious breed
Mama on the farm, hands strong and brown.
Cows from the plow, sweat on her brow
Tending fields, feeding life, a ribbon in her soul
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Mama on the farm, hands strong and brown.
Cows from the plow, sweat on her brow
Tending fields, feeding life, a ribbon in her soul
Love for the land cuts like a knife, makes the whole thing whole
Mama on the farm, strength so deep, roots so strong
Her legacy, love for the land
She'll always keep her farmer's heart beat eternally
