Rodney Atkins - "A Man On A Tractor"

Capo 3

D
I woke up the same way this morning
A
Like a stranger in my own life
Bm A
Tired and confused with too much to do
G D
Nothing left for my kids and my wife
G D
Oh I clung to that first cup of coffee
G
Praying god, won't you show me what's real
D
Then out in the distance I saw through the window
G D A D
A man on a tractor with a dog in a field

D
The dog walked just like it was smiling
G D
The man drove like the world was all right
Bm A
The tractor hummed on like a part of a song
G D
That you sing to your children at night
G D
His work was laid out there before him
G D
In rows of green, his whole life was revealed
G D
Oh what I wouldn't give if I could just live
G D A D
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field

Chorus:
D A G D
Let me do what I'm doing, let me be where I am
Bm G D
Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land
A G
When I'm lost, help me to let go and find someway to feel
D G A D
Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field

Instrumental: D-Bm-G-D-Bm-G-A

D
There I was watching and wondering

My wife came down and sat beside me
Bm A
She said. it's not about living another man's life
D A D
It's about seeing your own differently
G D
Oh this home that I love and my children

What more could one man hope to yield
G D
She touched my face and said, there's more than one way
G A D
To be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field
