He had hard work caked on his overalls
GbGb
Sweat on his neck, chaw in his jaw
DbDb GbGb
When a stranger pulled up and met him outside his barn
DbDb
Said, "Sir, I don't know if you ever would
GbGb
But I build houses and neighborhoods
DbDb GbGb
And I was wondering if you'd ever want to sell your farm"
BbmBbm
With his old dog barking and running around
AbAb
He paused for a second, spit on the ground
GbGb EbmEbm
Then kicked a little gravel, looked down and said
🎸 Chorus:
DbDb
This is my dirt, these are my fields,
GbGb AbAb
where I harvest what I plant
DbDb
That little pond, I catch bluegill,
GbGb AbAb
I built that barn with my two hands
DbDb
Where I raise my babies, a piece of mе, nah,
GbGb AbAb
this ain't just a piece of land
BbmBbm
The monеy'd be great,
