Man On A Tractor Testo

I woke up the same way this morning
like a stranger in my own life
tired and confused with too much to do
nothing left for my kids and my wife
oh i clung to that first cup of coffee
praying god, won't you show me what's real
then out in the distance i saw through the window
a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
the dog walked just like it was smiling
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 night
his work was laid out there before him
in rows of green, his whole life was revealed
oh what i wouldn't give if i could just live
like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
chorus:
let me do what i'm doing
let me be where i am
let me find peace of mind
on my own piece of land
when i'm lost, help me to let go
and find someway to feel
like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
there i was watching and wondering
my wife came down and sat beside me
she said. it's not about living another man's life
it's about seeing your own differently
oh this home that i love and my children
what more could one man hope to yield
then she touched my face
and said, there's more than one way
to be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
(repeat chorus)
