Lyrics

She turned 18 on the 10th of May
She watched all her friends pack up
their pickup trucks and drive away
Leavin that little town had never crossed her mind
So when they crossed that river for the big city
She just waived goodbye
She wanted somethin more
Somethin she could be remembered for

Chorus:
She took the title to that piece of land
On the outskirts of town
Picked up that bag of seeds
Her ole man was handin down
He said, "Wanna do somethin bigger than you? Somethin that matters?
"Well, girl you feed the whole wide world
"When you drive a tractor"

He said, well it aint easy
to make corn grow in perfect rows
but with some work and water
you'll feed families
you'll never know
and if you can make cotton blossom
Be proud of that
Cause you're the reason that your neighbor's got a shirt on his back
She wanted somethin more

Chorus:
She took the title to that piece of land
on the outskirts of town
picked up that bag of seeds
her ole man was handin down
He said "wanna do somethin bigger than you? Somethin that matters? Well girl you feed the whole wide world
When you drive a tractor

Bridge:
She ran in to an old friend
Who asked her why she never got out

Chorus:
She said "I took the title to my family's land on the outskirts of town, picked up that bag of seeds from my ole man so I could hand it down
Wanna be somethin bigger than me
Somethin that matters
And you get to feed the whole wide world
For you, your wife, and your little girls
That's why I drive a tractor

Leavin that little town had never crossed her mind
So when they crossed that river for the big city
She just waved goodbye.
