He had hard work caked on his overalls

Sweat on his neck chaw in his jaw

When a stranger pulled up and met him outside his barn

Said sir I don't know if you ever would

But I build houses and neighborhoods

And I was wondering if you'd ever want to sell your farm

With his old dog barking and running around

He paused for a second spit on the ground

Then kicked a little gravel looked down and said

This is my dirt these are my fields

Where I harvest what I plant

That little pond I catch bluegill

I built that barn with my two hands

Where I raise my babies

A piece of me nah

This ain't just a piece of land

The money'd be great

But I can't part ways with

A life that works

You can't put a green

Bag dollar on what it's worth

This is my dirt

Great granddaddy bought it for a hundred an acre

He'd just got married when he signed the papers

Him and his brothers framed that old farmhouse

Every fence post here we put in the ground

Ran the barbed wire and pulled the plow

Every last hay bale we baled it

Yeah I'd hate to be the first to sell it

This is my dirt these are my fields

Where I harvest what I plant

That little pond I catch bluegill

I built that barn with my two hands

Where I raise my babies

A piece of me nah

This ain't just a piece of land

The money'd be great

But I can't part ways

With a life that works

You can't put a green bag dollar on what it's worth

This is my dirt

This is where five generations have prayed for rain

They'll cover me in it when the good Lord calls my name

This is my dirt these are my fields

Where I harvest what I plant

That little pond I catch bluegill

I built that barn with my two hands

Where I raise my babies

A piece of me nah

This ain't just a piece of land

The money'd be great

But I can't part ways with a life that works

You can't put a green

Bag dollar on what it's worth

This is my dirt

Yeah this is my dirt

Yeah this is my dirt

Where I harvest what I plant this is my dirt

Where I raise my babies this is my dirt
