Rise up before the sun
To get the day's work done
Two eggs and some bacon Biscuits and gravy
Top it all off with a black cup of coffee (34)
Tie up my boots and out to the barn
Dew glistens from moonlight basking in the stars
Crickets still stirring with bullfrogs on bass
The sounds start increasing as the world wakes (40)
Outside the windmills rattle
Kneel down to milk the cattle
Give the cat a sip cause we all need a treat
The dog's tail is wagging, "don't forget about me" (37)
There's no simile or sufficient analogy
To describe the dark's departure into daily destiny
in the light's sheer magnificence
I scan the landscape inspecting fences (46)
Everyone accounted for in this blissful scene
Shadows slink and go to dream
Plow hits the dirt for all that it's worth
Sweat pours down to the seeded earth (36)
After a long day of the same things, same things (11)
Kick up my heels after a good hot meal.
Saw on the fiddle take sips from the still
Breathe it all in, it's as good as it gets
Rise again tomorrow as sure as the sun sets (42)
