A man with forty acres plowed and planted
Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school
The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm
Was, "Son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool."
In the magazines, I saw the naked women
I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby
She let me go and would never tell me why
I learned what it means to be somebody's baby
They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
