[Verse 1]
Mud on my boots again
At the break of day
I fed the hens, fixed the gate
Then I bowed my head to pray
The east field caught gold
On the tops of corn
I heard the barn roof creak
Like it knew we were born
[Pre-Chorus]
And every row I plow
Every seed I drop
Feels like a borrowed thing
From the hand that won't stop
[Chorus]
God in the barn
God in the rain
God in the wheat
And the scars in my hands
God in the barn
God in the rain
He keeps this old dirt
And He keeps this land
[Verse 2]
Mama kept a Bible
On the kitchen shelf
Daddy said “work like hell”
But never by yourself
When the creek runs high
And the fence wire snaps
I find Him in the fixing
And the quiet after that
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night gets mean
And the calves all cry
I look past the dark
To the stars in the sky
[Chorus]
God in the barn
God in the rain
God in the wheat
And the scars in my hands
God in the barn
God in the rain
He keeps this old dirt
And He keeps this land
[Bridge]
Some folks chase a sign
Some folks need proof
I just see His mercy
In a shed with a tin roof
In a child’s small laugh
In a truck gone slow
In a patch of green
Where the brown rows grow
[Chorus]
God in the barn
God in the rain
God in the wheat
And the scars in my hands
God in the barn
God in the rain
He keeps this old dirt
And He keeps this land
[Outro]
Yeah, He keeps this old dirt
And He keeps this land
