Shut It Down
Harvest of Love: Luke Bryan's Country Tale
Lyrics
She likes to watch him out the window
Observing him from the window
Goin' 'round in circles under the sun
Driving in circles in the sunlight
Somethin' 'bout a man on a tractor
Something appealing about a man on a tractor
With his hat on backwards
Wearing his hat backward
Lookin' forward to after he's done
Anticipating the time after he finishes
He keeps his eye on the back porch
Watching her from the back porch
She walks out, kicks off her shoes
She comes out, removes her shoes
Bare feet standin' in the short grass
Standing barefoot on the short grass
Sweet ice tea in a tall glass
Drinking sweet iced tea from a tall glass
Judgin' by her smile, it's about time to
Her smile suggests it's time for something
Shut it down
It's time to stop and relax
Lotta work left to do, the sun's still out
Still work to do, but the sun is still up
But any hay to make can wait for now
Postponing any remaining tasks for now
Throttle back, drop the plow, shut it down
Reduce speed, drop the plow, and take a break
He wipes his face off with his t-shirt
Wiping his face with a t-shirt
Climbs down and meets her by the gate
Coming down from the tractor to meet her
Takes himself a long, cool sip
Taking a refreshing sip
Lays some sugar on her lips
Sharing affection with a kiss
Thinkin' maybe he oughta just call it a day
Contemplating ending the day
Shut it down (shut it down)
Reinforcing the idea of stopping and relaxing
Lotta work left to do, the sun's still out (shut it down)
Tasks remain, but the day is not over
Any hay to make can wait for now take it on
Putting off making hay for the moment
In the house
Heading into the house
Shut it down (shut it down)
Repeating the notion of shutting down
Ooh, big, blue sky, half-plowed field
Describing the surroundings - open sky, half-plowed field
Bird on a fender, tractor sittin' still
Notable details like a bird on a fender and a stationary tractor
Any hay to make can wait for now, take it on
Reiterating the idea of delaying haymaking
In the house
Returning indoors
Close the door, lock it out, lock it out
Closing the door to shut out the work
Shut it down (shut it down)
Emphasizing the act of shutting down
Shut it down
Repeating the directive to shut it down
Shut it down
-Shut it down
