Rodney Atkins – Farmer’s Daughter

Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm

Somebody with a truck and two strong arms

Not scared of dirt and willing to work

‘Til the sun goes down

So I pulled up and said, “I’m your man

I can start right now” and we shook hands

He said, “The fence needs fixin’, the peaches need pickin’

And the cows need bringin’ round”

I was haulin’ hay, I was feedin’ the hogs

And that summer sun had me sweatin’ like a dog

So I cooled off in the creek and it was back to work

In that dad-gum heat

I was cussin’ out loud, thinkin’ ’bout quittin’

Lookin’ back now, I’m sure glad I didn’t

‘Cause just when I thought it couldn’t get no hotter

I caught a glimpse of the farmer’s daughter

She was just gettin’ home from Panama City

She was all tanned-up and my kind of pretty

When her eyes met mine I was thinkin’ that

I sure love my job

As the days got shorter, our talks got longer

The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger

So we’d hop in the truck and get all tangled up

Every chance we got

We were down by the river all night long

When the sun came up, I was sneakin’ her home

And draggin’ my butt to work

With the smell of her perfume on my shirt

I’d be on the tractor, she’d be on my mind

With that sun beatin’ down on this back of mine

And just when I thought it couldn’t get no hotter

I fell in love with the farmer’s daughter

We got married last spring

Oh, and there ain’t no better life for me

I’m still haulin’ hay and feedin’ the hogs

And that summer sun’s got me sweatin’ like a dog

So I cool off in the creek

And she brings me out a glass of sweet ice tea

Now I’m on the tractor, she’s on my mind

And I can’t wait ’til it’s quittin’ time

And just when I think it can’t get no hotter

I come home to the farmer’s daughter, yeah

The farmer’s daughter

Hey, baby
