^DHe'd been farming for sixty ^G-years ^GBegan with mules and a moldboard ^Dplow ^AFighting the weather, and singing songs no one would ^Dhear ^GWeather worn... face ^Alike leather; but making it ^Dsomehow.

^DWell, the mules place was taken by the John Deere ^GGee ^GTwo row corn picker...hand shucking no ^Dmore. ^AHe holds up one finger as he drives toward ^Dme ^GLast two corn rows; ^A"The one's I been lookin ^Dfor

^DNext week will see his farm ^Gsale ^GTractors and wagons and tools and ^Dmore ^AMemories and dreams of past years will ^Dwail ^GYes ^AThe Day He'd Been Lookin ^Dfor

^DNow the bidders are all gone....nothing to ^Gdo ^GAnd He is sitting there, barely moving the ^Dswing ^AThe rain- crow breaks into it's evening ^Dcoo ^GAnd He wonders, ^Awhat will I do come ^Dspring

^DNow I know He and the Gee are out there ridin ^Geasy ^GLike many times ^Dbefore ^AAnd pulling that old picker, and singing ^A"These are the rows, I been lookin ^Dfor."
