 Well I heard  he needed some help  on the farm
 Somebody with  a truck and two strong  arms
 Not scared  of dirt and willin'  to work
 till the sun  goes down
 So I pulled  up and said I'm your man
 I could start  right now and we shook hands
 He said the  fence needs fixin',
 the peaches  need pickin'
 And the  cows need bringin round
 I was haulin'  hay, I was feedin'  the hogs
 and that summer  sun had me sweatin'  like a dog
 So I cooled  off in the creek
 then it  was back to work in the dag  gum heat
 I was  cussin' out loud, thinkin'  bout quitin'
 Lookin'  back now I'm sure  glad I didn't
 Cuz just  when i thought it couldn't  get no hotter
 I caught glimpse  of the farmer's daughter
 She was just  gettin' home from Panama  city
 She was all  tanned up and my kinda  pretty
 When her  eyes met mine
 I was  thinkin' that I would sure love  my job
 As the days  got shorter our talks got  longer
 The kisses  got sweeter and the  feelings got stronger
 So we'd  hop in the truck and get  all tangled up
 Every chance  we got
 We were down  by the river all night long
 When the sun  came up I was sneakin' her home
 And draggin'  my butt to work
 With the smell  of her perfume on my  shirt
 I'd be on  the tractor she'd be on my mind
 With that  sun beatin' down on this back of mine
 Just  when I thought it couldn't get  no hotter
 I fell  in love with the farmer's  daughter
 We  got married last spring
Woah  and there ain't no better life for me
 CHORUS/OUTRO:
 Im still haulin'  hay and feedin' the hogs
 And that summer  suns has me sweatin' like a dog
 So I cool  off in the creek
 And she brings  me outta glass of sweet  ice tea
 Im on the  tractor and shes on my mind
 And I cant  wait til its quittin' time
 And just  when I think it  cant get no hotter
 I come  home to the farmer's  daughter
 Yeah the  farmer's daughter
 Suggestions welcome.
