Well I heard he needed some help on the farm

Somebody with a truck and two strong arms

Not scared of dirt and willin' to work

till the sun goes down

So I pulled up and said I'm your man

I could start right now and we shook hands

He said the fence needs fixin',

the peaches need pickin'

And the cows need bringin round

Chorus:

I was haulin hay, I was feedin the hogs

and that summer sun had me sweatin like a dog

So I cooled off in the creek

then it was back to work in the daggum heat

I was cussin' out loud, thinkin bout quitin'

Lookin' back now I'm sure glad I didn't

Cuz just when i thought it couldn't get no hotter

I caught glimpse of the farmer's daughter

She was just gettin' home from Panama city

she was all tanned up and my kinda pretty

When her eyes met mine

I was thinkin that I would sure love my job

as the days got shorter our talks got longer

the kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger

so we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up

every chance we got

we were down by the river all night long

when the sun came up I was sneakin' her home

and draggin my butt to work

with the smell of her perfume on my shirt

I'd be on the tractor she'd be on my mind

with that sun beatin' down on this back of mine

Just when I thought it couldnt get no hotter

I fell in love with the farmer's daughter

we got married last spring

Woah and there ain't no better life for me

I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs

and that summer sun has me sweatin' like a dog

so i cool off in the creek

and she brings me outta glass of sweet ice tea

I'm on the tractor and shes on my mind

and I can't wait till its quitin' time

and just when i think it can't get no hotter

I come home to the farmer's daughter

Yeah the farmer's daughter
