Country music song in which an old welder has been fired from his job on a skyscraper and returns to the farm to milk dairy cows.
(Verse 1)
Steel and sweat, that's all I knew, perched up high on a city view
Fifty floors above the street, weld a seam, make the skyline meet
Been doin' this since I was young, torch in hand, where I belonged
But the foreman said, "Hank, you're slowin' down, gotta find a younger man in town"
(Chorus)
So I packed my bags, left the city lights, traded rivets for milking nights
Back to the farm, where I grew tall, dusty overalls and a barn door stall
Thought I'd chase the neon dream, but steel and glass just ain't what they seem
Guess this old hand's better suited to milk a Jersey, not a twisted beam
(Verse 2)
Sunrise paints the silo gold, rooster crows, a story's told
Of simpler times, a slower pace, dirt beneath my calloused face
The cows they moo, a gentle sound, a rhythm that I used to know, profound
Maybe happiness ain't found so high, maybe it's right beneath the sky
(Chorus)
So I milk the cows, sing a lullaby, trade the city noise for a firefly
Back to the farm, where I belong, dusty overalls and a country song
Thought I'd chase the neon dream, but steel and glass just ain't what they seem
Guess this old hand's better suited to milk a Jersey, not a twisted beam
(Bridge)
My hands might ache, my back might groan, but there's a peace I ain't felt alone
The smell of hay, the morning dew, a life that's honest, pure and true
(Chorus)
So I milk the cows, sing a lullaby, trade the city noise for a firefly
Back to the farm, where I belong, dusty overalls and a country song
Thought I'd chase the neon dream, but steel and glass just ain't what they seem
This old hand's better suited to milk a Jersey, not a twisted beam, yeah
(Outro)
Milkin' cows, beneath the stars, a million miles from elevator bars
This farm life's in my blood, you see, guess that's where I was meant to be.
