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
Yeah, 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
Yeah, you can learn a lot about faith from a farmer

Only life he'd ever choose
'Cause he feels closest to God
Doing 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
You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
