Granger Smith - Tractor lyrics

Before the sun came up He sipped that coffee black Slid on his muddy boots Pulled down his feed store cap He taught me how to grease the points On that Ma**ey 2-4-0 But I was way too busy Didn't really care to go So he worked the fields alone But what I didn't know [Chorus:] Up on that tractor Things might be faster in the world But big wheels rollin' slow Help you see what's important What really does matter Up on that tractor Just like the dirt is black So do the years fly by He stayed at home with mom I travelled far and wide And like a good man does He listened when I called I told him bout my crazy life And all the things I saw But when it was time to go He wanted me to know [Chorus] It tore my world apart When God took him away I didn't get to say goodbye And I miss him everyday When all the fields grew up This is right back where I cam [Chorus] Up on that tractor Up on Dad's tractor
