Man on a Tractor
I woke up the same way this mornin'
Like a stranger in my own life
Tired and confused with too much to do
Nothin' left for my kids and my wife
Oh, I clung to that first cup of coffee
Praying, 'God, won't you show me what's real?'
Then out in the distance I saw through the window
A man on a tractor with a dog in a field
Oh, the dog walked just like he was smilin'
The man drove like the world was all right
The tractor hummed on like a part of a song
That you sing to your children at night
His work was laid out there before him
In rows of green his whole life was revealed
Oh, what I wouldn't give if I could just live
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
Let me do what I'm doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When I'm lost help me to let go and find some way to feel
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
There I was watching and wondering
My wife came down and sat beside me
She said, ‽It's not about livin' another man's life
It's about seein' your own differentlyâ€
Oh, this home that I love and my children
What more could one man hope to yield?
Then she touched my face and said, ‽There's more than one way
Just be a man on a tractor with a dog in a fieldâ€
Let me do what I'm doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When I'm lost help me to let go and find some way to feel
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
Oh, like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field, ooh, yeah
