Harvest Time

There's peanut dust and corn husks driftin' through the air tonight

The marchin' band's warmin' up under the football lights

There's tractor-trailers backed up down by the elevator

Train track grain car will roll in later

Get filled up and head on out in the world

(Chorus)

It's harvest time in this little town

Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down

Fill our disel tank up, make another round

There's a big red moon comin' up in the sky

Combine's cuttin' in a staggered line

The only time of year we miss the church bells chime

It's harvest time

There's a thermos and a water jug rollin' around in the cab

A set of socket wrenches wrapped up in a greasy red rag

When Bobby's mother pulls in the field bringing us supper

We grab a bite and make sure to hug her

Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll

(Chorus)

At a quarter 'til 2 I kick off my boots in the laundry room

We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon

'Til it's all done until we're all done

(Chorus)
