I'm up with the sunrise, boots on the floor
Screen door slammin' as I head out the door
There's a John Deere waitin' by a field of gold
And a hundred little stories in this land I hold
Got dust on my hat, got grease on my hands
Tryin' to make a livin' off this stubborn land
Ain't rich, but rich ain't what this is
Out here, I'm just farmer Chris
Yeah, the days get hot and the nights run long
But this old dirt feels like home sweet home
I'm farmer Chris, I was born for this
Corn in the ground and a girl to kiss
Backroad life and a front porch light
Cold sweet tea on a summer night
Work all day, let the worries drift
Thankin' God for every little gift
It ain't always easy, but the good Lord knows
Life grows slow where the green grass grows
My daddy taught me how to fix what breaks
How to read the clouds and the chance rain takes
How to keep on goin' when the market's low
And trust there's a harvest in the seeds you sow
There's a pickup parked by a weathered shed
And a whole lotta bills keepin' me outta bed
But my little boy laughs and my baby girl grins
That's all the proof I need to win
Yeah, some folks chase neon city lights
I'll take these stars and these firefly nights
I'm farmer Chris, I was born for this
Corn in the ground and a girl to kiss
Backroad life and a front porch light
Cold sweet tea on a summer night
Work all day, let the worries drift
Thankin' God for every little gift
It ain't always easy, but the good Lord knows
Life grows slow where the green grass grows
When the rain won't fall and the fields dry up
You learn how to live on faith and grit enough
And when that red sun sinks behind the pines
I know this life is tough, but man, it's mine
I'm farmer Chris, I was born for this
Blue sky days and a Sunday bliss
Backroad dust and a front porch light
Holdin' my woman on a Friday night
Work all day, let the hard times drift
Still find joy in the life I live
It ain't always easy, but the good Lord knows
Life grows strong where the green grass grows
Yeah, I'm farmer Chris, simple as it gets
A little love, a little land, no regrets
