Intro
GDAmCVerse 1G
Talk about an uphill battle
D
Two thousand acres of beans and cattle
C
But he don't ever get rattled
He just goes 'til the sun goes down
G
Hydraulic fluid on his jeans
D
Red-dyed diesel and ten rows between
CA cold one on the porch and a good nights sleep
Y'all hold 'em up with me now
ChorusDG
Here's to the farmer that plants the fields in the spring
D
That turn from green to that harvest honey
Am
Hold one up for the banker downtown
CD
That got him on his feet with handshake money
G
Here's to the farmer's wife
D
That loves him every night
Am
Raising a son, raising a daughter
G/B
They gather 'round the table, send it up to the Father
CG/BAm
Somehow they get closer when times get harder
Here's to the farmer

Subdivision's creeping on in
D
Neighborhood kids keep jumping his fence
C
He could double his money
But that'd be the end of a promise he'll never break
G
'Cause he looked his daddy in the eye
D
And he's got that stubborn pride
C
He'll be here 'til the day he dies
No, he wouldn't have it any other way
