Heres To The Farmer

G|D|Am|C| G 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 C A cold one on the porch and a good nights sleep Y'all hold 'em up with me now D G 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 C D 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 C G/B Am Somehow they get closer when times get harder Here's to the farmer |G|D| G 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 D G 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 C D 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 C G/B Am Somehow they get closer when times get harder Here's to the farmer |G|D|Am|C D| CHORUS OUT G Yeah, here's to the farmer that loves his day in the sun D Won't sell that old half-ton Am C Nobody knows better 'bout a hard-earned dollar Am G/B C D Just tell him how far he's gotta go and he'll go farther Here's to the farmer |G|D|Am|C| Here's to the farmer Thank you, boys
