Intro:
E B x2
Verse 1:
E A
Well I heard he needed some help on the farm
B E
Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
E B
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
A
till the sun goes down
E A
So I pulled up and said "I'm your man
B E
I can start right now" and we shook hands
E B
He said the fence needs fixin', the peaches need pickin'
A
And the cows need bringin' round
Chorus:
E
I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs
B
And that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog
F#m
So I cooled off in the creek
A B
And it was back to work in that daggum heat
E
I was cussin' out loud, thinkin bout quitin'
B
Lookin' back now I'm sure glad I didn't
F#m
Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
A B
I caught glimpse of the farmer's daughter
Instrumental:
E B
Verse 2:
E A
She was just gettin' home from Panama city
B E
She was all tanned up and my kinda pretty
E B
When her eyes met mine I was thinkin' that I
A
Sure love my job
E A
As the days got shorter our talks got longer
B E
The kisses got sweeter and the feelins got stronger
E B
So we'd hop in the truck and get all tagled up
A
Every chance we got
Chorus:
E
We were down by the river all night long
B
When the sun came up I was sneakin' her home
F#m
And draggin' my butt to work
A B
With the smell of her perfume on my shirt
E
I'd be on the tractor she'd be on my mind
B
With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
F#m
Just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter
A B
I fell in love with the farmer's daughter
Bridge:
F#m B
We got married last spring
F#m B
Woah and there ain't no better life for me
Chorus:
E
I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
B
And that summer sun's got me sweatin' like a dog
F#m
So I cool off in the creek
A B
And she brings me outta glass of sweet ice tea
E
Now I'm on the tractor and she's on my mind
B
And I can't wait till it's quitin' time
F#m
And just when I think it can't get no hotter
A B
I come home to the farmer's daughter
Outro:
E B E B E
