Porter Wagoner - Conversation lyrics
I was talkin' to a farmer not long ago His face was all brown and wrinkled and his hair was as white as snow I'd gone for a drive out in the country when I stopped at his place When I first stopped and spoke to him He said don't I know you you look familiar to me He sat there for a minute and said yeah I know you I listen to you on the radio and watch you on TV Then he started to tell me about his farm And his voice got real soft with a gentle tone He said this little ol' farm has sent five kids through school And for 48 years it's been my home The wife and I bought this place when we first got married She was just 18 and I was 21 We raised all of our five children right here Sent 'em through school and onto college our four girls and one son I asked him what he thought about things today All the prices and everything seem so high He said well I sorta leave that to someone else Cause I figure that nearly everything kinda even's out in the end I'll tell you why You see I raise the corn fatten the hogs take 'em into town Then I take the money that the hogs bring And buy me some new seeds to plant in the ground Then I raise the wheat that makes the flour to feed my wife and me I raise the hay too feeds them cows out there to give us the milk we need So I leave the price fixin' and things like that to someone else you see Cause I got all that I can do just taking care of this place And bein' an American farmer is what God wanted me to be Then he said I enjoy talkin' to you Porter But I'd better be back to work now I reckon you take care |
