The Gospel of Corn Binder

Intro

(Fast banjo picking)

(Laughter)

Chorus

Ol' Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Higher than a kite in a Georgia summer sky

He's talking back to his old red tractor

Something about a missing X-factor

Staring at the clouds till they turn to pie

Yeah Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Verse 1

Muttering something

Stumbled through the gate

Mumbling and fumbling about the vegetable crate

He forgot the garden's name

Words are swimming

Pre-Chorus

His hat is on crooked

His boots are on backwards

The farm is real quiet

Chorus

Ol' Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Higher than a kite in a Georgia summer sky

He's talking back to his old red tractor

Something about a missing X-factor

Staring at the clouds till they turn to pie

Yeah Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Verse 2

Corn found a clover

Thinking it's a treasure map

Lost in the thicket taking a midday nap

Blue grass turning purple

Grinning at the goats

Pre-Chorus

His dinner is burning

The cows are all wondering

His mind is elsewhere

Chorus

Ol' Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Higher than a kite in a Georgia summer sky

He's talking back to his old red tractor

Something about a missing X-factor

Staring at the clouds till they turn to pie

Yeah Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Post-Chorus

Mumble mumble

High up on the hill

La la la

Way up on the hill

Guitar Solo

(Fast fiddle and pedal steel exchange)

Bridge

What did he say

Did he say a word

I can't tell

Who knows anyway

He just points at a bird

Chorus

Ol' Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye

Higher than a kite in a Georgia summer sky

He's talking back to his old red tractor

Something about a missing X-factor

Staring at the clouds till they turn to pie

Yeah Corn Binder's got a glazed look in his eye
