D           D/C 
He gets up before the dawn,

packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee, 
     D                  D/C 
It's another day in the dusty haze, 
     D/B              D/Bb            D

Diesel's worth the price of gold,

it's the cheapest grain he's ever sold, 
                      A 
but he's still holdin on, 


         D                  A 
He just takes the tractor another round, 
    Em7             G              - D 
and pulls the plow across the ground, 
      A                Em7 - G 
And sends up another prayer, 
               D                   A 
He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why, 
Em7                   G           - D 
Please don't let my dreams run dry,

On his knees every night he prays,
