Heaven On Dirt
Heaven On Dirt: A Homage to Life's Bounty
Lyrics
I've worked this land as a boy and as a man
I have worked on this land since childhood and into adulthood.
It's my life and it's my home
This land is not just a place; it defines my life and is my home.
It's all I've ever known
This land is the only environment I've ever been familiar with.
My fate was sealed
My destiny was determined when my great-granddad purchased this field.
when great granddad bought this field
This field has been in the family for many years, predating my birth.
Many years before I was born
It was acquired many years before I came into existence.
cnd this right here was our first john deer
This specific piece of equipment was our first John Deere.
Oh, she pulled us through the hard years
It helped us navigate through challenging times.
I pray for rain, I pray for sunshine
I pray for both rain and sunshine, essential for the crops.
Oh, but not too much and not too little
However, the weather must be balanced, not too much or too little.
Gotta be just right, right in the middle
It needs to be just right, in the middle, for optimal farming conditions.
I wouldn't trade a day of my life
I wouldn't exchange a single day of my life.
It might take a lot of heart and a whole lot of work
Despite requiring a considerable amount of effort, it's a paradise.
But it's paradise, it's heaven on dirt
It's heavenly on this soil.
I've stayed the same, but the times they have changed
While I've remained the same, the world around me has evolved.
Cities bigger, faster, higher, spreading like a wildfire
Cities have grown rapidly, and the traditional way of life is threatened.
cnd this way of life is on borrowed time
This lifestyle is facing an uncertain future.
But the day I sell, well that will be a cold day in hell
But selling this land would be a drastic decision for me.
You'll find me here on this old john deer
You'll find me spending my days on this old John Deere.
Riding out the rest of my years
I plan to live out the remainder of my life here.
I pray for rain, I pray for sunshine
I continue to pray for the essential elements: rain and sunshine.
Oh, but not too much and not too little
Again, it's crucial that they are balanced.
Gotta be just right, right in the middle
They must be just right for the optimal farming conditions.
I wouldn't trade a day of my life
I wouldn't trade a single day of my life.
It might take a lot of heart and a whole lot of work
Despite the hard work, this life is a paradise.
But it's paradise, it's heaven on dirt
It's heavenly on this soil.
I pray for rain, I pray for sunshine
I continue to pray for the essential elements: rain and sunshine.
Oh, but not too much and not too little
Again, it's crucial that they are balanced.
Gotta be just right, right in the middle
They must be just right for the optimal farming conditions.
I wouldn't trade a day of my life
I wouldn't trade a single day of my life.
It might take a lot of heart and a whole lot of work
Despite the hard work, this life is a paradise.
But it's paradise, it's heaven on dirt
It's heavenly on this soil.
Oh oh, it's heaven on dirt
Oh oh, it's heaven on dirt.
c little heaven on dirt
A little piece of heaven right here on this soil.
