Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old red barn has got a lean to the west
Weeds in the pasture where the cattle slept best
I begged him on my knees, said "Dad, let me try"
He looked right through me with a cold gray eye
He said "This soil is mine till they put me in the dirt"
He’d rather see it die than to admit his own hurt
[Chorus]
So he’s letting it ruin, letting it rot
Everything we had, everything we got
His pride won't bend, so the tractor stays still
And I’m pulling eighteen wheels up over the hill
Yeah, I’m trucking instead of farming, shifting every gear
If he won't pass the torch, I'll just drive on out of here
[Verse 2]
Now I got a load of steel on a flatbed line
Chasing down the white lines, leaving him behind
He’d rather see the cedar trees swallow up the loam
Than see his own boy make a living back at home
He's king of a kingdom that's falling to dust
Holding onto nothing but a pile of rust
[Chorus]
So he’s letting it ruin, letting it rot
Everything we had, everything we got
His pride won't bend, so the tractor stays still
And I’m pulling eighteen wheels up over the hill
Yeah, I’m trucking instead of farming, shifting every gear
If he won't pass the torch, I'll just drive on out of here
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Forty tons of rolling thunder in the pouring rain
Better than the weight of that quiet family pain
He can keep his acres and his stubborn old mind
I’ve got three hundred horses and a road designed
[Chorus]
While he’s letting it ruin, letting it rot
Everything we had, everything we got
His pride won't bend, so the tractor stays still
And I’m pulling eighteen wheels up over the hill
Yeah, I’m trucking instead of farming, shifting every gear
If he won't pass the torch, I'll just drive on out of here
[Outro]
Keep your dirt, old man
I'll keep the highway
Yeah, I'm rolling on
Shifting gears
[Fade Out]
