A 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 wifeOh, I clung to that first cup of coffee
Praying, 'God, wont you show me whats real?'
Then out in the distance I saw through the window
A man on a tractor with a dog in a fieldOh, 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 nightHis work was laid out there before him
In rows of green his whole life was revealed
Oh, what I wouldnt give if I could just live
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a fieldLet me do what Im doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When Im lost help me to let go and find some way to feel
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a fieldThere I was watching and wondering
My wife came down and sat beside me
She said, Its not about livin' another mans life
Its about seein' your own differentlyOh, this home that I love and my children
What more could one man hope to yield?
Then she touched my face and said, Theres more than one way
Just be a man on a tractor with a dog in a fieldLet me do what Im doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When Im 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
