There´s peanut dust and corn husks
Drifting through the air tonight
The marching band´s
Warming up under the football lights
There´s tractor-trailers

Backed up down by the elevator
Train track grain car will roll in later
Get filled up and head on out in the world
It´s harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our diesel tank up
Make another round
There´s a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine´s cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It´s harvest time
There´s a thermos and a water jug
Rolling around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches
Wrapped up in a greasy red rag
Bobby´s mother pulls in the field
Bringing us supper

We grab a bite and make sure to hug her
Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll
It´s harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up
And make another round
There´s a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine´s cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It´s harvest time
At a quarter ´til two
I kick off my boots in the laundry room
We´ll start it all over tomorrow at noon
´Til it´s all done, until we´re all done
It´s harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill the diesel tank up

And make another round
There´s a big red moon coming up in the sky
Combine´s cutting in a staggered line
The only time of year
We miss the church bells chime
It´s harvest time, it´s harvest time
