lyrics

Did you have your eggs and bacon with your coffee?
Did you have your toast and butter yet today?
If you had a bowl of oatmeal, thank a farmer!
'Cause the food you eat comes from them everyday.
If you had a steak for dinner, or some chicken.
If you had a glass of milk or apple pie.
If you had your fruit and veggies with potatoes
thank a farmer, yeah he's one hell of a guy.

[Inst.]
If you like those wool pajamas that you sleep in,
those cotton sheets you lay on every night.
All those things, they start back at the farmer
and he's working hard to make things turn out right.
If you like to drink that beer and that whisky,
or smoke a big ol' stogy with your wine.
The farm's the place that makes all those things happen,
so make sure to thank a farmer every time.

[Inst.]
There's things I bet you didn't know come from the farmer,
from the spark plugs to the fluids in your car.
From the medicine, the makeup, and the jewelry.
without the farmer we'd have never got this far.
From the clothes that keep you warm in the winter,
to the sun block when the sun is way too bright.
Take a minute and just think of the farmer,
'cause he's probably out there in his fields tonight
