On The Combine - High Valley

John Deere lunch kid and a thermos full of Kool Aid

September harvest and I missed another school day

14 hours worth of dirt and there were lessons learned

Waist deep in those fields of gold

7 tons of steel and a twelve year old

Working hard just to keep it in a straight line, on the Combine

Hand me down overalls and an a.m. radio

Tried to get it right the first time and take it slow

Alabama singing 'in a hurry and don’t know why'

Black clouds and it starts to rain, running short on time and outta faith

Nothing you can do but pray for the sun to shine, on the Combine

Every time I climb that ladder

It takes me back to things that matter

Eighty acres and a Friday night

First date dinner in the cab beneath the moonlight

Cushion on a five gallon pail riding shotgun

Time goes by like those waves of grain

But I remember it like yesterday

Where I fell in love for the first time, on the Combine

Working hard just to keep it in a straight line

Nothing you can do but pray for the sun to shine

Where I fell in love, in love for the first time
