Green farm and red barns,
Lies rusty cars and big trucks
Farmers everywhere

Cowboy hats they wear
Overalls and wrangler jeans
Boots and bandanas

Miles of open land
Skies that go on forever
Life of a farmer

I live in Texas as well and this is actually an accurate description! Especially in some of the western parts of Texas.
