Lyrics to Faith From A Farmer
He wakes up before the sun
And drinks his coffee black as the sky
And buttons up his shirt
Ballcap with yesterday's dirt
Ain't even dry
His family's owned that farm since his daddy was born
But he knows that it only takes one storm
So, he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
Every penny made he spends just to make it back to spring
And last year the crops did good, but when April comes around don't mean a thing
'Cause there's always something left for him to do
While he tries to be a good husband and father too
So, he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
Only life he'd ever chose
'Cause he feels closest to God
Doin' what He asked him to do
While he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
He just wants to hand down a good life to his son and daughter
Yeah, you can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
And drinks his coffee black as the sky
And buttons up his shirt
Ballcap with yesterday's dirt
Ain't even dry
His family's owned that farm since his daddy was born
But he knows that it only takes one storm
So, he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
Every penny made he spends just to make it back to spring
And last year the crops did good, but when April comes around don't mean a thing
'Cause there's always something left for him to do
While he tries to be a good husband and father too
So, he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
Only life he'd ever chose
'Cause he feels closest to God
Doin' what He asked him to do
While he prays for the rain
And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family
He knows you reap what you sow
And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting
Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder
He just wants to hand down a good life to his son and daughter
Yeah, you can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
