Verse 1)
Sun comes up over that old red barn,
Coffee in a thermos, another day on the farm.
Firing up that John Deere, rolling through the fields,
Life feels right when the dirt’s on the wheels.
Got my pickup parked by the old fence line,
Country boy roots run deep in mine.
(Chorus)
’Cause I’m working all day just earning my keep,
Dust on my boots and hay on my Jeep.
But when the sun goes down, I’m heading to the lake,
Casting my line just to watch that ripple break.
Saved up my money, bought a little old boat,
Nothing makes me happier than watching her float.
Yeah, this country life fits me just right,
From John Deere days to lakefront nights.
(Verse 2)
Fall rolls in and the leaves turn brown,
I’m slipping on camo when the sun goes down.
Climbing that treestand quiet as I can,
Breathing in the pines, feeling like a new man.
Then out he steps, steady and tough—
Big ol’ ten-point buck, Lord, that’s enough.
(Chorus)
’Cause I’m working all day just earning my keep,
Dust on my boots and hay on my Jeep.
But when the sun goes down, I’m heading to the lake,
Casting my line just to watch that ripple break.
Saved up my money, bought a little old boat,
Nothing makes me happier than watching her float.
Yeah, this country life fits me just right,
From John Deere days to lakefront nights.
(Bridge)
Some folks chase gold, some chase fame,
But I’m just grateful for my last name.
Give me open skies and a good strong hand,
A farm, a truck, a lake, and this land.
(Final Chorus)
Working all day just earning my keep,
Dust on my boots and hay on my Jeep.
When the moonlight hits that peaceful lake,
I thank the Lord for every breath I take.
Got my pickup, my boat, and a freezer stocked up,
Thanks to that ten-point buck and a little good luck.
Yeah, this country life fits me just right—
From John Deere days to lakefront nights.
