Jason Aldean (2005)
Intro - D
(verse 1)
D D/C
He gets up before the dawn,
D/B D/Bb D
packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee,
D D/C
It's another day in the dusty haze,
D/B D/Bb D
it's burnin rays are wearin down his body,
G
Diesel's worth the price of gold,
D
it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold,
A
but he's still holdin on,
(chorus)
D A
He just takes the tractor another round,
Em7 G - D
and pulls the plow across the ground,
A Em7 - G
And sends up another prayer,
D A
He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why,
Em7 G - D
Please don't let my dreams run dry,
A Em7 G D
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky,
(verse 2)
D D/C
That hail storm back in 83'
D/B D/Bb D
sure did take a toll on his family,
D D/C
He stayed strong and carried on,
D/B D/Bb D
just like his dad and grand-dad did before him,

On his knees every night he prays,
D
please let my crops and children grow,
A
Cause that's all he's ever known,
(chorus)

He just takes the tractor another round,

| This song obviously is about the hardships of the modern American farmer. "The diesels worth the price of gold It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold But he's still holdin' on" It is becoming very hard to make a living with the high cost of equipment and low price of crops but still they sweat and toil because its their way of life and they know no different. These people really are owed a debt by everyone. Without them, we wouldn't have our market fresh food at the grocery, the canned corn or even soybean oil. we would be a culture without food. And even though it is one of the toughest jobs in the world they stick with it. God bless.... 1 | |
