the chores are done
the tractor's parked inside the barn
the cows are grazing in the field
horses in their stalls
ma's cooking up a meal
that reeks(?) from the dirt on my hands
it's on my hands
the sores and bumps on my body speak
of the work that i've done
such a long day
it'll be a long tomorrow
(is in our eyes)
long day tomorrow
the day is warm in my blue jeans
(bring the axe down
bring the axe down)
(sittin up on the crooked fence)
pull the hoe across the yard
tip my hat to nothing in particular
just glad to be so simple
the tractor's parked inside the barn
the cows are grazing in the field
horses in their stalls
ma's cooking up a meal
that reeks(?) from the dirt on my hands
it's on my hands
the sores and bumps on my body speak
of the work that i've done
such a long day
it'll be a long tomorrow
(is in our eyes)
long day tomorrow
the day is warm in my blue jeans
(bring the axe down
bring the axe down)
(sittin up on the crooked fence)
pull the hoe across the yard
tip my hat to nothing in particular
just glad to be so simple

"tip my hat to nothing in particular just glad to be so simple"
This sums up a few of Panda's songs. He talks in interviews about how he likes a laid-back life. He likes simplicity and a slow-paced environment. This song has simple lyrics that just give a pastoral image of a farmer working, and enjoying his situation. It's a sad sounding song, though, maybe because Panda doesn't really have this life. Like "Sometimes When It Hurts Bad Enough It Feels Like This", he's longing for simpler times when he was a youngin' and got to listen to Little Thinker tapes and have fun with music and drawing and being a carefree imaginative kid
