Just a Farmer 1

JUST A FARMER (music and lyrics by Joan Donnelly Ellis/Genre County/Male Vocals) Verse 1 I watched you work the ground with horse and plough With just the hunger of a dream to show you how and I watched you hide the pride when God favored your side And you came home to Mama and me satisfied Chorus Just a farmer and your armour was tractor horse and plough and sweat upon your brow A rising before dawn began to break With shovel , spade and seeds to sow God's love and a rake Verse 2 Your eyes spoke of a heart filled with light You rarely judged but when you did you were right And I will always view you as my Knight in shining armor A special farmer, Dad , you were my life RC Spoken I know you tried to mold me a rancher from my youth But my hankerin' was for music and that's the truth And when my love for music altered the course of your guide I know something within you died Dad and Mama says you cried Now I'm not sure why or what happened that changed things But turns out music wasn't enough to fill the hunger in my soul So I called Mama to tell her I was ready to follow in your footsteps as a farmer And Mama told you. Mama said your room seemed to illuminate from your glow. Repeat Chorus twice and fade out slowly at the end Continue to part 2 ....Describes type of Music Video I have in mind for the song
