Verse 1
It was the backside of the Great Depression; March of 1937
When she looked into his eyes and said, “I do”
Three babies and a few years later, they headed out for somethin’ greater
Eighty level acres with a view
Strong as any oak tree; the backbone of her family
Chorus
A farmer’s wife, all she ever wanted
Was to take care of her children and her man
A zest for life, workin’ there beside him
Plantin’ seeds of love and kindness on that land
Her family and her garden, always lookin’ to the harvest
She wouldn’t trade one minute of her life, she’s a farmer’s wife
Verse 2
Days were tough, she was tougher; she never let that cold wind bite her
Her hands were always busy, and they got by
Darnin’ socks, and canned tomatoes, washin’ smiles, paintin’ cradles
Five more babies came along in time
The house was full of lovin’; a little piece of heaven
Chorus
Bridge
There were other roads she could have taken
Other choices she could have made yet this straight and narrow path is what she chose
Chorus
