Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank

[Verse 1] I tend the wheat field that makes your bread I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed Mother Nature & Mother Earth Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth [Chorus] I'm the farmer I work in the fields all day Don't mean to alarm her But I know it was meant to be this way [Verse 2] You cried a tear, I wiped it dry I put you up upon a pedestal so high If you should waiver, if you should sway I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away You signed your picture with an O and X I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your checks [Chorus] [Bridge] All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you You could have written back You could have said "thank you" (But) I guess you've got better things [3x] Better things to do [4x] [Verse 3] You say you love me, is that the truth? Although they've heard the songs, my friends want living proof I know your address, I ring the bell I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells [Chorus 3] I am the farmer I work in the fields all day I didn't mean to harm her But I know it was meant to be this way [3x]
