He wakes up at the crack of dawn and kisses her cheek
Throws his old Levi's on puts his boots on his feet
Makes a pot of coffee right before he leaves
He sends up a prayer asking for a good year
Climbs on the tractor with his blood sweat
And tears poured into the ground
As he makes another round
Row by row
He plants the field
Kickin' dust up on his heels
Row by row
He finds a way
To make ends meet everyday
Row by row
When the wells run dry from the summer heat
He stays up all night doesn't want to repeat last years drought
Time and moneys running out
Row by row
He plants the field
Kickin' dust up on his heels
Row by row
He finds a way
To make ends meet everyday
Row by row
Row by row harvest time is here
Time to end another year
And oh he knows his work is never done
So he passes it on to his son
Row by row
He'll plant the field
Row by row
He'll understand
The work his dad put in this land
Row by row
Row by row
