Farmer's Daughter Lyrics - Take A Back Road - Rodney Atkins

Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm 

Somebody with a truck and two strong arms 

Not scared of dirt and willing to work 

'Til the sun goes down 

So I pulled up and said, "I'm your man 

I can start right now" and we shook hands 

He said, "The fence needs fixin', the peaches need pickin' 

And the cows need bringin' round" 

I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs 

And that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog 

So I cooled off in the creek and it was back to work 

In that dad-gum heat 

I was cussin' out loud, thinkin' 'bout quittin' 

Lookin' back now, I'm sure glad I didn't 

'Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter 

I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter

She was just gettin' home from Panama City 

She was all tanned-up and my kind of pretty 

When her eyes met mine I was thinkin' that 

I sure love my job 

As the days got shorter, our talks got longer 

The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger 

So we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up 

Every chance we got 

We were down by the river all night long 

When the sun came up, I was sneakin' her home 

And draggin' my butt to work 

With the smell of her perfume on my shirt 

I'd be on the tractor, she'd be on my mind 

With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine 

And just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter 

I fell in love with the farmer's daughter

We got married last spring 

Oh, and there ain't no better life for me 

I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs 

And that summer sun's got me sweatin' like a dog 

So I cool off in the creek 

And she brings me out a glass of sweet ice tea 

Now I'm on the tractor, she's on my mind 

And I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time 

And just when I think it can't get no hotter 

I come home to the farmer's daughter, yeah 

The farmer's daughter 

Hey, baby
