Harvest Time

                                  There's peanut dust and corn husk drifting through the air tonight

The marching band's warming up under the football lights

There's tractor trailers backed up down by the elevators

Train track grain car'll 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

And make another round

There's a big red moon coming up in the sky

Combine's cutting in a staggered line

The only time of year 

We missed the church bell's chime

It's harvest time



There's a thermos and a water jug

Rolling around in the cab

A set of socket wretches

Wrapped up in a greasy red rag

Bobby's mother pulls in the field

Bringing 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 the diesel tank up

And make another round

There's a big red moon coming up in the sky

Combine's cutting in a staggered line

The only time of year 

We missed the church bell's chime

It's harvest time



At a quarter to two I kick off my boots

In the laundry room, 

We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon

'Til its 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 the diesel tank up

And make another round

There's a big red moon coming up in the sky

Combine's cutting in a staggered line

The only time of year 

We missed the church bell's chime

It's harvest time

It's harvest time
