Harvest time

There's peanut dust and corn husks drifting through the air tonight
The marching band's warming up under the football lights
There's tractor-trailers backed up down by the elevator
Train track grain car will roll in later
Get filled up and head on out in the world

It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our diesel tank up, make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year we miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time

There's a thermos and a water jug rolling around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches wrapped up in a greasy red rag
Bobby's mother pulls in the field bringing us supper
We grab a bite and make sure to hug her
Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our diesel tank up, make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year we miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time

At a quarter 'til 2 I kick off my boots in the laundry room
We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon
Till it's all done until we're all done

It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our diesel tank up, make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year we miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time
It's harvest time
