[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

At a quarter 'til 2 I kick off my boots in the laundry room

We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon

Till it's all done until we're all done

[Chorus]

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

It's harvest time
