  • This may come as a shock

    I know this might come as a shock to some people, but there is a song that I love, that is…. a country song…..yes, country.
    I just love love love this song. It is called International Harvester.
    I just love it….

    I’m the son of a third generation farmer
    I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter
    I’m a God fearing hardworking combine driver
    Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
    Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
    On my International Harvester.

    3 miles of cars laying on their horns
    Falling on deaf ears of corn
    Lined up behind me like a big parade
    Late to work, road raged jerks
    Shouting obscene words flippin me the bird

    Well you maybe be on a state paved road
    But that blacktop runs through my pay load
    Excuse me for trying to do my job
    But this year ain’t been no bumper crop
    If you don’t like the way I’m a driving
    Get back on the interstate
    Otherwise sit tight and be nice
    And quit your honking at me that way

    Cause I’m the son of a 3rd generation farmer
    I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter
    I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
    I’m a lifetime sponsor of the FFA
    Hey, that’s what I make I make a lot of Hay for a little pay
    and I’m proud to say
    I’m a God fearing hardworking combine driver
    Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
    Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
    On my International Harvester.

    Well I know you got your own deadline
    But cussing me won’t save you no time Hoss
    But this big wheel wide load ain’t going any faster
    So just smile and wave and tip your hat to the man up on the tractor

    Cause I’m the son of a 3rd generation farmer
    I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter
    I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
    I’m a lifetime sponsor of the FFA
    Hey, that’s what I make I make a lot of Hay for a little pay
    and I’m proud to say
    I’m a God fearing hardworking combine driver
    Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower

  • yup I like that song to , infact log onto my blog and listen to some songs that I also like that are NOT traditional Christian music.  I have to be very cautious to not feed my flesh but feed my spirit with Godly music. So don’t beat yourself up over it.

  • Interesting, I haven’t heard that one.

  • I love that song too!

  • One of my students loved that song, too.  It’s a cute song by itself but you have no idea how cute it is when its sung by a little red-headed, freckle-faced 3-year old boy!

  • There are a LOT of good songs in country music these days.  Lots of positive, pro family, songs. Even songs that give glory to God and lift up Jesus.
    I’m not a big country music fan, but God is using a lot of country singers and songs these days!
