[00:33]I tend the wheat field that makes your bread
[00:39]I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed
[00:45]Mother Nature & Mother Earth
[00:50]Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth
[02:55][01:45][00:56]I'm the farmer
[02:58][01:49][00:59]I work in the fields all day
[01:51][01:01]Don't mean to alarm her
[03:02][01:53][01:03]But I know it was meant to be this way
[01:12]You cried a tear, I wiped it dry
[01:18]I put you up upon a pesestal so high
[01:24]If you should waver, if you should sway
[01:29]I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away
[01:34]You signed your picture with an O and X
[01:40]I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your cheques
[01:57]All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you
[02:02]I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you
[02:07]You could have written back
[02:09]You could have said "thank you"
[02:19][02:16][02:13]I guess you've got better things,
[02:28][02:26][02:23][02:20]Better things to do
[02:33]You say you love me, is that the truth?
[02:38]Although they've heard the songs, my friends need living proof
[02:43]I know your address, I ring the bell
[02:49]I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells
[03:00]Never wanted to harm her
[03:08][03:05]I know it was meant to be this way
