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

It's harvest time in this little town

Time to bring it on in pay the loans down

Fill our diesel 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

Bobby's mother pulls in the field bringin' us supper

We grab a bite and make sure to hug her

Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll

It's harvest time in this little town

Time to bring it on in pay the loans down

Fill our diesel 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

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

It's harvest time in this little town

Time to bring it on in pay the loans down

Fill our diesel 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
