Tractor

Before the sun came up he sipped that coffee black

Slid on his muddy boots pulled down his Feed Store cap

He taught me how to grease the points on that Massey 240

But I was way to busy didn't really care to go

So he worked the fields alone

But what I didn't know

Up on that tractor things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rolling slow

Help you see what's important what really does matter

Up on that tractor

Just like the dirt is black so do the years fly by

He stayed home with mom I traveled far and wide

And like a good man does he listened when I called

Told him bout my crazy life and all the things I saw

When it was time to go

He wanted me to know

Up on that tractor things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rolling slow

Help you see what's important what really does matter

Up on that tractor

It tore my world apart when God took him away

Didn't get to say goodbye and I miss him everyday

When all the fields grew up this is right back where I came

Up on that tractor things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rolling slow

Up on that tractor things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rolling slow

Help you see what's important what really does matter

And I know even more now what really does matter

Up on that tractor

Up on that tractor

Up on dad's tractor
