Down On the Farm
Tim McGraw · Greatest Hits
That leads back to a field filled with pick-up trucks
Got old Hank crankin' way up loud
Got coolers in the back, tailgates down
There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ed's been on the tractor, ain't seen Becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em headed down to the creek
Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a Jeep
Man, he knows how to grow 'em, if you know what I mean
Ole Dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
[chorus]
You can have a lotta fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closin' time, ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
You can come as you are, there ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull, he can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate, stay outta the beans
If it starts to rain, we'll just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
[chorus]
You can have a lotta fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closin' time, ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Oh, let's get down y'all
Stay outta that hay
