I woke up the same way this morning
Like a stranger in my own l[C]ife
[Dm]Tired and confused with t[C]oo much to do
Nothing l[Bb]eft for my kids and my w[F]ife
Oh I cl[Bb]ung to that first cup of co[F]ffee
Praying god, won't you show me what's r[Bb]eal
Then out in the dis[F]tance I saw through the window
A m[Bb]an on a tra[F]ctor with a d[C]og in a f[F]ield
[F]The dog walked just like it was smiling
The man d[Bb]rove like the world was all r[F]ight
The t[Dm]ractor hummed on like a p[C]art of a song
That you sing to y[Bb]our children at n[F]ight
His w[Bb]ork was laid out there before h[F]im
In rows of gr[Bb]een, his whole life was rev[F]ealed
Oh w[Bb]hat I wouldn't give if I co[F]uld just live
Like a [Bb]man on a tra[F]ctor with a do[C]g in a fi[F]eld
Chorus:
[F]Let me d[C]o what I'm doing, let me [Bb]be where I [F]am
Let me f[Dm]ind peace of mind on my o[Bb]wn piece of la[F]nd
When I'm l[C]ost, help me to let go and find s[Bb]omeway to feel
Like a m[F]an on a t[Bb]ractor [C] with a dog in a f[F]ield
Instrumental: F-Dm-Bb-F-Dm-Bb-C
T[F]here I was watching and wondering
My wife came down and sat beside me
She said. it's n[Dm]ot about li[C]ving another man's life
It's about se[F]eing your own different[C]ly[F]
Oh this h[Bb]ome that I love and my ch[F]ildren
What more could one man hope to yield
[Bb]She touched my face and sai[F]d, there's more than one way
To be a m[Bb]an on a tractor with a d[C]og in a f[F]ield
Repeat Chorus
Like a stranger in my own l[C]ife
[Dm]Tired and confused with t[C]oo much to do
