Farmer Tan Lyrics

Sawyer Brown
"Farmer Tan"
"Outskirts of Town" Album
Intro:
Whoa-whoa whooooaaa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa-whoa whoooooaa whoa whoa whoa
Verse 1:
There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow
His head is sinkin' low
He tends his fields with the best of them
Thinkin love can make it grow
But when the landlord says "Its over"
And the harvest has turned cold
There ain't enough to pay the man
After the crops have been sold
Chorus:
Tell me what do we see when we look in the mirror
He don't see no money but he sees something clearer
There's a man doin all that he can in the midst of no concern
Well he ain't out in the sun tryin' to get his arms brown
He's tryin' to pull a livin' out of that ol' hard ground
These days a man and his dreams can get a little bit burned
Workin' on a farmer tan, whoa-whoa whooooooaaaa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa-whoa whoooooaaa whoa whoa whoa
Verse 2: (same chords)
The fruits of his labor
Have dried upon the vine
He dont' want for finer things
He's wanting to get by
There are fertile fields of compassion
We have yet to turn
We educate and we nominate
But will we ever learn?
Repeat Chorus twice
