Tim McGraw - Down On The Farm

There's some things you can't do inside those city limits.

Country music has a refreshing lack of pretension. Because you're not cooped up in town, surrounded by easily annoyed neighbors, out in the country you can let your hair down, get a little loud, maybe even shoot a little.

Tim McGraw is from this school of country music, and Down On The Farm is one of the five hit singles from his 1994 breakout album Not A Moment Too Soon. This album - as all 8 of his studio albums since, plus two greatest hits collections - is certified at least platinum.

But don't let all that hold you back. Park your pickup in the shade, grab some sweet tea from the cooler, and set for a spell. Heck, there may even be a little skeet later. Yeah it's loud, that's why we head out to the country to do it ....


Down On The Farm (Songwriters: Jerry Laseter, Kerry Kurt Phillips)

Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old Hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back
Tailgates down
There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

Ed's been on the tractor ain't seen Becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em heading down to the creek
Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep
Man he knows how to grow 'em if ya know what I mean
Old Dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

Well you can come as you are
There ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull
He can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate
Stay out of the beans
If it starts to rainin' will just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm

(Stay out of that hay)
