Boots hit dirt ‘fore the sun shows gold Morning air got that bite of cold Same red clay on these worn-out jeans Same hard work, same big dreams There’s a Bible sittin’ by the screen door Black-and-white from ’44 Great-granddaddy by a mule and plow I feel him lookin’ at me now ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They say the bank’s been callin’ lately Crop price fallin’ like rain But this land raised my whole family We don’t walk away ⸻ [Chorus] I’m the fourth generation, raised on grit and grace Diesel in my bloodline, sunburn on my face This field ain’t dirt — it’s our last name Written in rows of grain When the sky turns black and the winds blow loud We pray for rain, then pray for clouds Through every storm that rolls somehow I’m the fourth generation now ⸻ [Verse 2] She pulls up in a dusty Ford Laughs when I track mud on her porch Says she loves these calloused hands Says she understands We sit on the tailgate after dark Fireflies dancin’ in the yard She says, “One day we’ll watch our kids Run these fields like you did” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And if this town ever dries up If the highway pulls us out She says, “Wherever you’re plantin’ roots That’s where I’ll settle down.” ⸻ [Chorus] I’m the fourth generation, raised on grit and grace Diesel in my bloodline, sunburn on my face This field ain’t dirt — it’s our last name Written in rows of grain When the sky turns black and the winds blow loud We stand our ground, we don’t back down Through every storm that rolls somehow I’m the fourth generation now ⸻ [Bridge – stripped back, emotional] If the tractors stop and the market falls If a “For Sale” sign hits these walls They’ll have to lay me in this ground Before I let it go ⸻ [Final Chorus – big, layered harmony] I’m the fourth generation… Under wide sky salvation… Calloused hands and a stubborn vow This farm’s my forever now When they carve my name in this town I’ll still be turnin’ this soil around Yeah, roots run deeper than the plow I’m the fourth generation now
Lyrics
Boots hit dirt ‘fore the sun shows gold
Morning air got that bite of cold
Same red clay on these worn-out jeans
Same hard work, same big dreams
There’s a Bible sittin’ by the screen door
Black-and-white from ’44
Great-granddaddy by a mule and plow
I feel him lookin’ at me now
They say the bank’s been callin’ lately
Crop price fallin’ like rain
But this land raised my whole family
We don’t walk away
I’m the fourth generation, raised on grit and grace
Diesel in my bloodline, sunburn on my face
This field ain’t dirt — it’s our last name
Written in rows of grain
When the sky turns black and the winds blow loud
We pray for rain, then pray for clouds
Through every storm that rolls somehow
I’m the fourth generation now
She pulls up in a dusty Ford
Laughs when I track mud on her porch
Says she loves these calloused hands
Says she understands
We sit on the tailgate after dark
Fireflies dancin’ in the yard
She says, “One day we’ll watch our kids
Run these fields like you did”
And if this town ever dries up
If the highway pulls us out
She says, “Wherever you’re plantin’ roots
That’s where I’ll settle down.”
I’m the fourth generation, raised on grit and grace
Diesel in my bloodline, sunburn on my face
This field ain’t dirt — it’s our last name
Written in rows of grain
When the sky turns black and the winds blow loud
We stand our ground, we don’t back down
Through every storm that rolls somehow
I’m the fourth generation now
If the tractors stop and the market falls
If a “For Sale” sign hits these walls
They’ll have to lay me in this ground
Before I let it go
I’m the fourth generation…
Under wide sky salvation…
Calloused hands and a stubborn vow
This farm’s my forever now
When they carve my name in this town
I’ll still be turnin’ this soil around
Yeah, roots run deeper than the plow
I’m the fourth generation now
