THIS IS THE STORY OF A FAMILY TREASURE
THAT STARTS A LONG TIME AGO
ON A DAIRY FARM IN THE COUNTRY
WITH COWS TO MILK AND CORN TO GROW
THE WORLD WAS AT WAR 
NINETEEN FORTY THREE
MOSTLY EVERYTHING MADE 
PAINTED FLAT OLIVE GREEN
THE FOLKS HERE AT HOME 
AND FIGHTING OVER SEAS
WAS AMERICAN FARMS 
THAT GAVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT
THEY DIDN'T MAKE TOO MANY TRACTORS THEN
WERE WAY TOO BUSY BUILDING TANKS
BUT MY GRAND DAD ORDERED A NEW ONE
HE TOOK A LOAN FROM THE BANK
A NEW FARMALL DELIVERED BY TRUCK
MY GRAND DAD CRIED WHEN IT PULLED UP
PRETTY AS A PROM DATE SHINY AND RED
BUILT TO LAST AND BUILT AMERICAN TOUGH 
IF THAT OLD GIRL COULD TALK
I'D BE EASY TO SEE
SHE IS MORE THAN JUST A TRACTOR
SHE'LL TELL THE STORY OF ME
WHEN HER FARMING DAYS WERE OVER
SHE RODE IN JULY FOURTH PARADES
MY GRAND DAD WAS JUST AS PROUD
AS WHEN HE SAW HER THAT FIRST DAY
WHEN HE PASSED AWAY YEARS LATER
SHE WAS HANDED DOWN TO MY DAD
HE BOUGHT TIRES A BATTERY 
A COAT OF NEW PAINT
WITH ANY SPARE CASH THAT HE HAD
IF THAT OLD GIRL COULD TALK
I'D BE EASY TO SEE
SHE IS MORE THAN JUST A TRACTOR
SHE TELLS THE STORY OF ME
THAT OLD FARMALL SITTING OUT THERE
FULL OF FAMILY MEMORIES
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG PART OF US 
SHE TELLS THE STORY OF ME
NOW THAT BIG BEAUTIFUL MACHINE
SITS OUT IN MY SHED
THE OTHER DAY MY DAD SAID SHE'S YOURS
BUT DON'T YOU EVER FORGET
SOMEDAY YOUR KIDS WILL GIVE IT TO THEIRS
JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW
IT HELPED PLANT THE SEEDS OF OUR FAMILY
AND IT'S OUR LOVE THAT MAKES IT GROW
IF THAT OLD GIRL COULD TALK
I'D BE EASY TO SEE
SHE IS MORE THAN JUST A TRACTOR
SHE TELLS THE STORY OF ME
THAT OLD FARMALL SITTING OUT THERE
FULL OF FAMILY MEMORIES
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG PART OF US
SHE TELLS THE STORY OF ME
