Twilight Homestead

Fields of gold, never gettin' old On my old tractor, it's stories told [Verse 1] Tire tracks on the dusty road This here life, no heavy load With calloused hands I take the reins In the heartland, my spirit remains Wheels keep turnin' on my worn-out ride Grains of the field, swayin' side to side Denim and dust, under cloudless scenes Chuggin' along in that tractor dream [Bridge] From row to row, over tracks we gleam Just a simple man with a simple scheme Harvest moon, come to light my path Over the earth, I guide my trusty craft Reaping rewards from the seeds I've sown Alive in the heartland, where my roots have grown [Chorus] In my old tractor, beneath the wide sky Turning the soil, 'neath the sun riding high Acre to acre, the sunsets bleed Paintin’ the heavens, it's all I need [Verse 2] Engine hummin' that familiar tune In my old tractor, work’s done by noon Homeward bound when the day is done Family waitin' when the harvest’s won Down the lane, past the creek, where the cotton blooms In my old tractor, as the twilight looms [Verse 3] Underneath a blanket of the stars so bright The cool night whispers, I've toiled right I park my ride, by the old barn's side As the nightingale sings, in satisfaction I sigh
