There´s peanut dust and corn husks driftin´ through the air tonight
The marchin´ band´s warmin´ 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 comin´ up in the sky
Combine´s cuttin´ 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 rollin´ around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches wrapped up in a greasy red rag
Bobby´s mother pulls in the field bringin´ 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 comin´ up in the sky
Combine´s cuttin´ 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
´Til 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 comin´ up in the sky
Combine´s cuttin´ in a staggered line
The only time of year we miss the church bells chime
It´s harvest time
