The Hired Hand

Torn Levi's and a dirty shirt

Worn blue eyes looking for work

Leaned on our gate on The Family Farm

Said I'll work all day, I'll work real hard

Oh

Fixing fence till dusk from dawn

Tightening the tension with a come along

Come along

'Till a wire snapped and cut his cheek

Washed it off in The Willow Creek

Oh

All summer long, side by side

Said "I best be movin' on" with twinkling blue eyes

Shook my hand and smiled "Until next time"
