Man On A Tractor

I woke up the same way this mornin'
Like a stranger in my own life
Tired and confused with too much to do
Nothin' left for my kids and my wife

Oh, I clung to that first cup of coffee
Praying, 'God, wont you show me whats real?'
Then out in the distance I saw through the window
A man on a tractor with a dog in a field

Oh, the dog walked just like he was smilin'
The man drove like the world was all right
The tractor hummed on like a part of a song
That you sing to your children at night

His work was laid out there before him
In rows of green his whole life was revealed
Oh, what I wouldnt give if I could just live
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field

Let me do what Im doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When Im lost help me to let go and find some way to feel
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field

There I was watching and wondering
My wife came down and sat beside me
She said, Its not about livin' another mans life
Its about seein' your own differently

Oh, this home that I love and my children
What more could one man hope to yield?
Then she touched my face and said, Theres more than one way
Just be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field

Let me do what Im doin', let me be where I am
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
When Im lost help me to let go and find some way to feel
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
Oh, like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field, ooh, yeah
