Man On A Tractor

I woke up the same way this mornin' Like a stranger in my own life Tired and confused with too much to do Nothin' left for my kids and my wife Oh, I clung to that first cup of coffee Praying, 'God, won't you show me what's real?' Then out in the distance I saw through the window A man on a tractor with a dog in a field Oh, the dog walked just like he was smilin' The man drove like the world was all right The tractor hummed on like a part of a song That you sing to your children at night His work was laid out there before him In rows of green his whole life was revealed Oh, what I wouldn't give if I could just live Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field Let me do what I'm doin', let me be where I am Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land When I'm lost help me to let go and find some way to feel Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field There I was watching and wondering My wife came down and sat beside me She said, '€œIt's not about livin' another man's life It's about seein' your own differently'€ Oh, this home that I love and my children What more could one man hope to yield? Then she touched my face and said, '€œThere's more than one way Just be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field'€ Let me do what I'm doin', let me be where I am Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land When I'm lost help me to let go and find some way to feel Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field Oh, like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field, ooh, yeah
