Row by Row

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
