Tractor - Granger Smith

Written by：Frank Rogers/Granger Smith

Before the sun came up

He sipped that coffee black

Slid on his muddy boots

Pulled down his feed store cap

He taught me how to grease the points

On that massey 240

But I was way too busy

Didn't really care to go

So he worked the fields alone

But what I didn't know

Up on that tractor

Things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rollin' slow

Help you see what's important

What really does matter

Up on that tractor

Just like the dirt is black

So do the years fly by

He stayed home with mom

I travelled far and wide

And like a good man does

He listened when I called

Told him 'bout my crazy life

And all the things I saw

But when it was time to go

He wanted me to know

Up on that tractor

Things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rollin' slow

Help you see what's important

What really does matter

Up on that tractor

It tore my world apart

When god took him away

Didn't get to say goodbye

And I miss him everyday

When all the fields grew up

This is right back where I came

Up on that tractor

Things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rollin' slow

Up on that tractor

Things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rollin' slow

Help you see what's important

What really does matter

I know you are moon now

What really does matter

Up on that tractor

Up on that tractor

Up on that tractor
