Old white washed barn doors 
Rain rusted tin 
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans 
Hangin' in the wind 
There's never time for these bones to mend 

Up before the sun dries 
The frost on my fields 
I've got the diesel burnin' 
Turnin' these four wheels 

Across this land I been handed down 
Feel my roots run deep in this ground 

So stand me up tall in this seat 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet 
And turn this earth over one more time 
Some say this way of life is done 
But not for my father's son 

Three Generations 
Before I ever came 
Cut back these timbers 
And bet their lives on grain 

And I want to see just once before I die 
Us doin' more than just barely getting by 

So stand me up tall in this seat 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet 
And turn this earth over one more time 
Some say this way of life is done 
But not for my father's son 

Now and then I walk my fence 
Down by the old country road 
And watch the cars go rushin' by 
And disappear like ghosts 

Out where the sky meets the amber waves 
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made 

So stand me up tall in this seat 
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet 
And turn this earth over one more time 
Some say this way of life is done 
But not for my father's son
