As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain

I take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain

At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows

Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool

Im a man of the land, Im into discipline
我是大地之子,纪律是我的信条
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin

But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
