“Farmer’s Daughter” bears some structural similarity to a few difficult Judeo-Christian myths, notably the Grimm Brother’s myth, Iron John: http://portitude.org/literature/grimm/ft-iron_john.php Here’s the abbreviated version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_John
Both are basically about a boy ma...
[Verse 1]
Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm
Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
'Til the sun goes down
So, I pulled up and said, "I'm your man
I could start right now," and we shook hands
He said, "The fence needs fixin'
The peaches need pickin' and the cows need bringin' 'round"
[Chorus]
I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs
And that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog
So I cooled off in the creek
Then it was back to work in the dadgum heat
I was cussin' out loud, thinkin' 'bout quitin'
Lookin' back now, I'm so glad I didn't
'Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter
[Verse 2]
She was just gettin' home from Panama city
She was all tanned up and my kinda pretty
When her eyes met mine I was thinkin' that I sure love my job
As the days got shorter, our talks got longer
The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
So we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up
Every chance we got
We were down by the river all night long
When the sun came up, I was sneakin' her home
And draggin' my butt to work
With the smell of her perfume on my shirt
I'd be on the tractor she'd be on my mind
With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
And just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
I fell in love with the farmer's daughter
[Bridge]
We got married last spring
Woah, and there ain't no better life for me
[Chorus]
I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
And that summer sun's got me sweatin' like a dog
So I cool off in the creek
And she brings me out a glass of sweet iced tea
Now I'm on the tractor, she's on my mind
And I can't wait 'til it's quitin' time
And just when I think it can't get no hotter
I come home to the farmer's daughter, yeah
The farmer's daughter
[Outro]
