International Harvester Lyrics
I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug a lug a luggin’ 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester
Fallin’ on deaf ears of corn
Lined up behind me like a big parade
Of late to work road raged jerks
Shoutin’ obscene words flippin’ me the bird
But that blacktop runs through my payload
Excuse me for tryin’ to do my job
But this year ain’t been no bumper crop
If you don’t like the way I’m a drivin’
Get back on the interstate
Otherwise sit tight and be nice
And quit yer honkin’ at me that way
Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation farmer
I’ve been married 10 years to a farmer’s daughter
I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
I’m a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A.
Hay! That’s what I make
I make a lotta hay for a little pay
But I’m proud to say
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my a p-p-p-plower
Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester
But cussin’ me ain’t savin’ no time hoss
This big-wheeled wide load ain’t goin’ any faster
So just smile and wave and tip your hat
To the man up on the tractor
Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation farmer
I’ve been married 10 years to a farmer’s daughter
I got two boys in the county 4-H
I’m a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A.
Hay! That’s what I make
I make a lot of hay for a little pay
But I’m proud to say
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-plower
Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester
Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-plower
Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester
obviously this is about a farmer who is just askin for a little respect from other people on the road. he's just trying to make a living and if you can't say somethin' nice, don't say anything at all. i love singing this one on the road, ezpecialy the p-p-p-plower part :)
What's wrong these people here, you are wasting your precious time if you'll just go here and comment like "What a lame song?!" get out of here and get a life!
This may not really be the best country song ever (I know some) but this one is defenitely good.
if you don't like him, then why the fuck are you spending your time reading his lyrics? now THAT'S pretty lame if you ask me pal. craig morgan rocks.
lame? dumbass farmer? y'all need to learn to appreciate good music. not this new crap country like carrie underwood or taylor swift
omg best song ever its self explanitory really i turn it on every time im driving and get stuck behind a plower
Definitely agree with bear hug I mean if your just gonna diss on every song just cause you cant get the feeling of respect than bug off and do something with your time since you have some. This song is what you should be listening to and getting the feeling of RESPECT it doesn't mean that he wants to own the roads he's is just trying to make his way through life and if you have a problem with it don't be throwing a fit we all belong in this world
"On my International Harvester" IS SUPPOSED TO BE "I'm an International Harvester" THIS IS WHAT I HEAR WHEN I LISTEN TO THE SONG!
Hey Everybody, I am not hating at all. I like country music, I get that the general Idea of the song is relatable to a lot of southern people, wants respect from the other people on the road, hes got farm equipment. OK. Can anybody actually explain the first 2 lines of the song to me please? "I am the son of A third generation farmer" "I have been married 10 years to THE farmers daughter" He did not say A farmers daughter, he didn't say ANOTHER farmers daughter. The way this is put can either mean 3 different things, non of which make any sense to me for a song so popular that is never mentioned in this context.
1: Morgan Craig the world famous professional songwriter did not understand English grammar well enough to realize what he was saying, as well as his entire publishing team.
2: Morgan Craig was openly making fun of a stereotype of the entire audience that the rest of the song related to.
3: He was unironically casually singing about being married to the daughter of the farmer he is also a son of..... and Karen Greer does not seem to be his sister
SHIT.. this song is only about a dumbass farmer who thinks he owns a state paved road... GET A LIFE
What a lame song. I hate when I have to listen to bullshit fake-ass country music at work.
