Thank a Farmer - James Wesley

From the fuel that fills your truck

To the coffee in your cup

Don’t thank the corner store

For that early morning rush

Thank a farmer

Yeah I think back to that hayfield

Filled with girls and four-wheels

Sneaking off with her for that first time

You can thank a farmer

I still believe in amber waves of grain

Man on his knees praying for rain

That grew this country strong

And keep us moving on

They get tougher as their lives keep gettin' harder

Oh I think it’s time

We all thank a farmer

From the blacktop roads you ran

That used to be his land

To big cities and small towns

That he built with his two hands

You can thank a farmer

And for this shirt on my back

And these boots on my feet

And them tank top wearin' country girls

And them old skin-tight bluejeans

I thank a farmer

Yeah, thank a farmer

I still believe in amber waves of grain

Man on his knees praying for rain

That grew this country strong

And keep us moving on

They get tougher as their lives keep gettin' harder

Yeah I think it’s time

We all thank a farmer

I still believe in amber waves of grain

Man on his knees praying for rain

That grew this country strong

And keep us moving on

They get tougher as their lives keep gettin' harder

Yeah I think it’s time

We all thank a farmer

Thank a farmer

A lot of folks like me still care about the FFA and county fairs

And the folks who really make this world go round

I’d like to thank a farmer
