J.D. Shelburne - Farmboy lyrics

rate me

Thinking back, when I was a kid

Doin all the things my granddad did

Never thought it'd be this hard to fill his shoes

All that wisdom under granddad’s hat

Wishing like hell I’d remember all that

Learned everything I know from that old man

Before he died he gave me the keys and said

‘Son, this is how you’ll remember me’

When you fire up the tractor and roll in the hay

Light up a bonfire at the end of the day

Take another sip from mama’s mason jar

I ain’t scared to work, that’s how I was raised

Live by the Bible and taught how to pray

Sow my crops where the river meets the sky

I’m a F.A.R.M.B.O.Y.

That old road is now black top

It cuts right through where we sow our crops

That rusted windmill stopped turning the other day

And that farmhouse granddad built with his hands

Still stands strong on this old farm land

Its roots run deep, they’re forever here to stay

Still got the barn and its got the plow

Granddad always said that’s what his life is all about

When I fire up the tractor and roll in the hay

Light up a bonfire at the end of the day

Taking a sip from mama’s mason jar

I ain’t scared to work, that’s how I was raised

Live by the Bible and taught how to pray

Sow my crops where the river meets the sky

I’m a F.A.R.M.B.O.Y.

I still fire up the tractor and roll in the hay

Light up the bonfire at the end of the day

I take a sip from my mama’s mason jar

Yeah, I ain’t scared of the world, that’s how I was raised

Live by the Bible and taught how to pray

Sow my crops where the river meets the sky

I’m a F.A.R.M.B.O.Y.

Yeah, I’m a farmboy till the day that I die
