There's peanut dust and corn husk drifting through the air tonight
The marching band's warming up under the football lights
There's tractor trailers backed up down by the elevators
Train track grain car a-rolling later
Get filled up and head on out in the world
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in
Pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of yearWe miss the church bell's chime
It's harvest time
There's a thermos and a water jug
Rolling around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches
Wrapped up in a greasy red rag
Bobby's mother pulls in the field
Bringing us supper
We grab a bite and make sure to hug her
Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in
Pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bell's chime
It's harvest time
At a quarter till two I kick off my boots
In the laundry room,
We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon
Till it's all done, until we're all done
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in
Pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bell's chime
It's harvest time
It's harvest time
It is indeed Harvest Time in my neck of the woods. This post is dedicated to the hard working farmers, everywhere I go I see hay, corn, soybeans, tobacco, wheat, etc... being harvested and hauled. Often, especially in the mornings, tractors and combines can be seen driving along the highways heading to the fields to bring in those crops.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope that you take a moment to leave a comment and that you head on over to Hootin' Anni's Thursday Theme Song.
No peanuts or tobacco here but everything else looks like our little town this time of the year. I like this song, I haven't heard it before. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteA brand new release of a song that could apply to many parts of North America in the 20th and 21st centuries.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Jeanette, with excellent photos. Thanks!

OH WHAT GREAT PICTURES and Luke Bryan is one of my favorite new country artist. Love his voice and the lyrics he writes about the very day person. After hearing about the tragic loss of his brother and sister, I know he is living for them as well as himself and they are surely smiling down on him.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit.

I always worry what if it pours when you are harvesting.
