Green Acres High

The sun comes up I’m on the land

Plow in my grip soil in my hand

Fields so wide they kiss the sky

This is my life I’ll tell you why

Green acres high where I plant my seeds

Growing my food and my personal needs

With every breath I feel alive

On this good earth I’ll always thrive

The cows are lowing the chickens squawk

The corn grows tall like a farmer’s clock

But when the moon shines and the work is through

I light one up beneath the dew

Green acres high where I plant my seeds

Growing my food and my personal needs

With every breath I feel alive

On this good earth I’ll always thrive

A life so simple but it’s so sweet

With dirty boots and a steady beat

Under the stars where the wild winds blow

I find my peace where the green things grow

The tractor hums a steady tune

By day I sweat by night I swoon

From the barn to the hill I’ve carved my place

With the scent of the earth and the sun’s embrace
