Green Thumb

I depend
On the harvest season
the living's good
When my hands are bleeding

Trimming bushes
Pruning trees
On the trackter
Transporting feed

Here I am
A farmers son
2 strong hands
And a green thumb

I grab my chainsaw
To work on a stoop
When my chickens scurry
Invaded coop

On the atv
To the log splitter
Bag balm
Ready for dinner

Here I am
A farmers son
2 strong hands
And a green thumb

From Sunrise
To sunset
To Mother Earth
I am in debt
