There's peanut dust and corn husks
Drifting through the air tonight
The marching band's
Warming up under the football lights
There's tractor-trailers
Backed up down by the elevator
Train track grain car will roll in later
Get filled up and head on out in the world
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our diesel tank up
Make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time
There's a thermos and a water jug
Rolling around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches
Wrapped up in a greasy red rag
Bobby's mother pulls in the field
Bringing us supper
We grab a bite and make sure to hug her
Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time
At a quarter 'til two
I kick off my boots in the laundry room
We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon
'Til it's all done, until we're all done
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
There's a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine's cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time, it's harvest time
