My Fathers Son

Em                C
Old white washed barn doors
G            D
Rain rusted tin
Em                      C
Straw packed shirt and blue jeans
G               D
Hangin' in the wind
               C              G        D
There's never time for these bones to mend
Em             C
Up before the sun dries
G                D
The frost on my fields
Em                  C
I've got the diesel burnin'
G                   D
Turnin' these four wheels
             C           G      D
Across this land I been handed down
           C         G             D
I feel my roots run deep in this ground

    G           D
So stand me up tall in this seat
C                        Em              D
Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet
     G               D
And turn this earth over one more time
      C        G              D
Some say this way of life is done
     C                   Em  G  D
But not for my father's son
Em         C
Three Generations
G              D
Before I ever came
Em              C
Cut back these timbers
     G                   D
And bet their lives on grain
               C        G             D
And I want to see just once before I die
          C               G            D
Us doin' more than just barely getting by

Em              C
Now and then I walk my fence
G                        D
Down by the old country road
Em                     C
And watch the cars go rushin' by
G                    D
And disappear like ghosts
               C             G     D
Out where the sky meets the amber waves
            C            G        D
Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made
