HAULING HAY(back in the day)
Lets gather up a field of hay
'twas cut the day 'fore yesterday
now it's raked and in the bales
and scattered out in grassy swales
I'll gather friends both hale and stout
see if they want a good workout
'cause we're all young and like to feel
our muscles work like corded steel
And when the work becomes too hard
we'll take a break in farmer's yard
while sipping water cold and chill
we know there's work to be done, still
So toss that bale and drive that truck!
we may even make a buck
the heat may soak us all with sweat
we're young, it doesn't faze us yet
We'll joke, and jeer, and curse, and shout
untill the field is emptied out
and throw the bales through open door
until the barn will hold no more
The sun's moved low
we're almost done
the shadows stretch
o're work grown fun
Now lets get paid(not near enough)
we won't complain or get all gruff
at least we've got a bit to spend
now that the day's work is at end
I'll call my girl and ask her out
to eat and maybe drive about
and talk about each other's day
all as result of hauling hay
'twas cut the day 'fore yesterday
now it's raked and in the bales
and scattered out in grassy swales
I'll gather friends both hale and stout
see if they want a good workout
'cause we're all young and like to feel
our muscles work like corded steel
And when the work becomes too hard
we'll take a break in farmer's yard
while sipping water cold and chill
we know there's work to be done, still
So toss that bale and drive that truck!
we may even make a buck
the heat may soak us all with sweat
we're young, it doesn't faze us yet
We'll joke, and jeer, and curse, and shout
untill the field is emptied out
and throw the bales through open door
until the barn will hold no more
The sun's moved low
we're almost done
the shadows stretch
o're work grown fun
Now lets get paid(not near enough)
we won't complain or get all gruff
at least we've got a bit to spend
now that the day's work is at end
I'll call my girl and ask her out
to eat and maybe drive about
and talk about each other's day
