I Don’t Miss Working on the Farm

 

The hay balers are out early in the fields

Headlights outshining late September stars

The din of diesel engines shaking the world

I don’t miss working on the farm at all

 

The operator smoking a cigarette

While his sunburnt old hands wrestle the machine

His khakis and chambray shirt already wet

I don’t miss working on the farm at all

 

Yep, laboring in the fields from can ‘til can’t -

I don’t miss working on the farm at all
