[Verse I]
                                                                       
            Sun is rising,...               on a new day.
                                                                       
   There s work to be done,        and it looks like rain.
                                                                       
   Can ya  hear the thunder -           the storm is near.
                                                                       
    Better move those sheep,               before we shear.

[Chorus I]
                                                                       
     Fifty years I ve worked my land,       seen the seasons -   good and bad;
                                                                       
      it s here           I was born,        like my father             before.
                                                                       
      I ve raised    my     family -       and  I m  proud      of what I see;
                                                                       
           proud to be,...               a  farmin   man.

[Verse II]
                                                                       
 I ve seen many changes,...                  in  my  day.
                                                                       
     Now I watch my sons,...                 do  it  their-way.
                                                                       
      This father is proud  -     they ve turned out fine.
                                                                       
       The future is theirs,         and the past is mine.

[Chorus II]
                                                                       
     Fifty years I ve worked my land,       seen the seasons -   good and bad;
                                                                       
      it s here           I was born,        like my father             before.
                                                                       
      I ve raised    my     family -       and  I m  proud      of what I see;
                                                                       
           proud to be,...               a  farmin   man.

[Verse III]
                                                                       
  Couldn t live in a city,...           need an open sky.
                                                                       
           Only a farmer,...            can tell you why.
                                                                       
   There s nothin  better,...         than a setting sun
                                                                       
  when the day is over,...           and the work is done.

[Chorus III]
                                                                       
     Fifty years I ve worked my land,       seen the seasons -   good and bad;
                                                                       
      it s here           I was born,        like my father             before.
                                                                       
      I ve raised    my     family -       and  I m  proud      of what I see;
                                                                       
           proud to be,...               a  farmin   man.
