Farming Mess

Verse 1

Tractor won't turn over this morning

Pick-up's got a flat on the rear

Chickens made a break for the garden

Peckin' at the tomatoes I love dear

Fence line's down on the east pasture

Cattle wandered right into the yard

Horses busted out of the stable

Runnin' wild and free and runnin' hard

Chorus

It's a farming mess I'm tellin' you now

One thing after another goin' wrong somehow

The gate fell off and the pigs found the creek

And I can't even get one good night's sleep

It's a farming mess and I'm wearin' thin

But I wouldn't trade this life for anything

Verse 2

That old hound dog's got my work boots

Chewin' leather like it's a fresh bone

Cat's just perched up on the windowsill

Watchin' the mouse make the kitchen his home

Goose is chasin' me back toward the back door

Legs are flappin' wings a-catchin' air

Goats got loose and they're on the flower bed

Eatin' every petal with a happy stare

Chorus

It's a farming mess I'm tellin' you now

One thing after another goin' wrong somehow

The gate fell off and the pigs found the creek

And I can't even get one good night's sleep

It's a farming mess and I'm wearin' thin

But I wouldn't trade this life for anything

Verse 3

Ducks are swimmin' in the kiddie pool

Splashin' water every which-a-way

And the coffee pot just up and shattered

On the kitchen floor at break of day

Chorus

It's a farming mess I'm tellin' you now

One thing after another goin' wrong somehow

The gate fell off and the pigs found the creek

And I can't even get one good night's sleep

It's a farming mess and I'm wearin' thin

But I wouldn't trade this life for anything

Bridge

Sun comes up and the work begins

Mud on my boots and a grin on my chin

Lord knows I'd have it no other way

Just another beautiful chaotic day

Chorus

It's a farming mess I'm tellin' you now

One thing after another goin' wrong somehow

The gate fell off and the pigs found the creek

And I can't even get one good night's sleep

It's a farming mess and I'm wearin' thin

But I wouldn't trade this life for anything

Repeat

Bridge

Sun comes up and the work begins

Mud on my boots and a grin on my chin

Lord knows I'd have it no other way

Just another beautiful chaotic day

Chorus

It's a farming mess I'm tellin' you now

One thing after another goin' wrong somehow

The gate fell off and the pigs found the creek

And I can't even get one good night's sleep

It's a farming mess and I'm wearin' thin

But I wouldn't trade this life for anything
