He had hard work caked on his overalls Sweat on his neck, chaw in his jaw When a stranger pulled up and met him outside his barn Said, "Sir, I don't know if you ever would But I build houses and neighborhoods And I was wondering if you'd ever want to sell your farm" With his old dog barking and running around He paused for a second, spit on the ground Then kicked a little gravel, looked down and said This is my dirt, these are my fields, where I harvest what I plant That little pond, I catch bluegill, I built that barn with my two hands Where I raise my babies, a piece of me, nah, this ain't just a piece of land The money'd be great, but I can't part ways with a life that works You can't put a green bag dollar on what it's worth This is my dirt Great granddaddy bought it for a hundred an acre He'd just got married when he signed the papers Him and his brothers framed that old farmhouse Every fence post here we put in the ground Ran the barbed wire and pulled the plow Every last hay bale, we baled it Yeah, I'd hate to be the first to sell it This is my dirt, these are my fields, where I harvest what I plant That little pond, I catch bluegill, I built that barn with my two hands Where I raise my babies, a piece of me, nah, this ain't just a piece of land The money'd be great, but I can't part ways with a life that works You can't put a green bag dollar on what it's worth This is my dirt This is where five generations have prayed for rain They'll cover me in it when the good Lord calls my name This is my dirt, these are my fields, where I harvest what I plant That little pond, I catch bluegill, I built that barn with my two hands Where I raise my babies, a piece of me, nah, this ain't just a piece of land The money'd be great, but I can't part ways with a life that works You can't put a green bag dollar on what it's worth This is my dirt Yeah, this is my dirt Yeah, this is my dirt Where I harvest what I plant, this is my dirt Where I raise my babies, this is my dirt
