Harvest Time

Intro There’s peanut dust and corn husks driftin’ through the air tonight The marchin’ band’s warmin’ up under the football lights There’s tractor-trailers backed up down by the elevator Train track grain car will roll in later Get filled up and head on out in the world Chorus 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 comin’ up in the sky Combine’s cuttin’ in a staggered line The only time of year we miss the church bells chime   It’s harvest time    There’s a thermos and a water jug rollin’ around in the cab A set of socket wrenches wrapped up in a greasy red rag Bobby’s mother pulls in the field bringin’ 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 our diesel tank up and make another round   There’s a big red moon comin’ up in the sky Combine’s cuttin’ in a staggered line The only time of year we miss the church bells chime   It’s harvest time           At a quarter ’til 2 I kick off my boots in the laundry room We’ll start it all over tomorrow at noon ’Til it’s 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 our diesel tank up and make another round   There’s a big red moon comin’ up in the sky Combine’s cuttin’ in a staggered line The only time of year we miss the church bells chime   It’s harvest time
