Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm
Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
Not scared of dirt and willing to work
Til the sun goes down
So I pulled up and said, Im your man
I can start right now and we shook hands
He said, The fence needs fixin, the peaches need pickin
And the cows need bringin round
I was haulin hay, I was feedin the hogs
And that summer sun had me sweatin like a dog
So I cooled off in the creek and it was back to work
In that dead-gum heat
I was cussin out loud, thinkin bout quittin
Lookin back now, Im sure glad I didnt
Cause just when I thought it couldnt get no hotter
I caught a glimpse of the farmers daughter
She was just gettin home from Panama City
She was all tanned-up and my kind of pretty
When her eyes met mine I was thinkin that
I sure love my job
As the days got shorter, our talks got longer
The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
So wed hop in the truck and get all tangled up
Every chance we got
We were down by the river all night long
When the sun came up, I was sneakin her home
And draggin my butt to work
With the smell of her perfume on my shirt
Id be on the tractor, shed be on my mind
With that sun beatin down on this back of mine
And just when I thought it couldnt get no hotter
I fell in love with the farmers daughter
We got married last spring
Oh, and there aint no better life for me
Im still haulin hay and feedin the hogs
And that summer suns got me sweatin like a dog
So I cool off in the creek
And she brings me out a glass of sweet ice tea
Now Im on the tractor, shes on my mind
And I cant wait til its quittin time
And just when I think it cant get no hotter
I come home to the farmers daughter, yeah
The farmers daughter
Hey, baby
