Country Farmer

I've a tractor in the garden and a tractor in the shed,
I've a tractor in the field and a tractor in my head,
Proud to be a country farmer, I'm outstanding in my field,
And a country farmer I will always be.

I've a plough for turning soil and a disc for planting seed,
I've got lots of cow manure for the crops on which to feed,
Cows and chickens in the barnyard and a porker in the pen,
And a pasture just as far as I can see.

I am just a country farmer, but it's paradise for me,
I am just a country farmer, but it's what I want to be,
Country farming is my future, for it's always been my past,
It is what I do that makes me truly free.

I've a little piece of heaven called a barnyard and a field,
I've a place to seek my treasure and a place where it's revealed,
Cows and chickens and a tractor, crops and pasture and a shed,
Yes, this country farming is the thing for me.

I am just a country farmer, but it's paradise for me,
I am just a country farmer, but it's what I want to be,
Country farming is my future, for it's always been my past,
It is what I do that makes me truly free.
