I woke up the same way this morning C Like a stranger in my own life Dm C Tired and confused with too much to do Bb F Nothing left for my kids and my wife Bb F Oh I clung to that first cup of coffee Bb Praying god, won't you show me what's real F Then out in the distance I saw through the window Bb F C F A man on a tractor with a dog in a field F The dog walked just like it was smiling Bb F The man drove like the world was all right Dm C The tractor hummed on like a part of a song Bb F That you sing to your children at night Bb F His work was laid out there before him Bb F In rows of green, his whole life was revealed Bb F Oh what I wouldn't give if I could just live Bb F C F Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field Chorus: F C Bb F Let me do what I'm doing, let me be where I am Dm Bb F Let me find peace of mind on my own piece of land C Bb When I'm lost, help me to let go and find someway to feel F Bb C F Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field Instrumental: F-Dm-Bb-F-Dm-Bb-C F There I was watching and wondering My wife came down and sat beside me Dm C She said. it's not about living another man's life F C F It's about seeing your own differently Bb F Oh this home that I love and my children What more could one man hope to yield Bb F She touched my face and said, there's more than one way Bb C F To be a man on a tractor with a dog in a field Repeat Chorus
