[Intro]
Yeah
(studioblues)
Amen
[Verse 1]
Red dirt on my boots
Sun up in my eyes
Granddad in the doorway
Sayin, “Boy, come feed these highs”
Corn tall, sky wide
Hands cut, still we smile
“Look a man in the eye
Tell the truth or walk a mile”
He’d say, “Yessir, nosir
Open doors, tip your brim”
“Never take more
Than the Lord gave them”
Mama at the table
Prayin over rice and beans
“Respect ain’t bought
It’s how you walk between”
[Chorus]
I learned love in them fields, amen
Mud on my jeans, still I feel, amen
World gone wild, but I’m sealed, amen
Heart of the farm in my chest
And I’m blessed, amen
I got faith in the roots I stand in
Won’t break what my elders planted
World gone to hell, I’m standin
Hands up high like
Amen, amen
[Verse 2]
Now the phones glow blue
Where the fire pit burned
Kids scroll past pain
Like they can’t be hurt
They laugh at “yes ma’am”
Talk slick for the views
Trade soul for a second
On a flashing-screen pew
But I still hear Grandpa
Rockin in that chair
“Boy, the world’ll lose its mind
You just bow your head in prayer”
So I hold that gate
Like he held that land
Middle of the madness
Still a straight-back man
[Chorus]
I learned love in them fields, amen
Mud on my jeans, still I feel, amen
World gone wild, but I’m sealed, amen
Heart of the farm in my chest
And I’m blessed, amen
I got faith in the roots I stand in
Won’t break what my elders planted
World gone to hell, I’m standin
Hands up high like
Amen, amen (yeah)
Amen, amen (studioblues)
