about

Clem's tribute to the hard working farmers and their families who toil day in and day out to put food on our tables. This sometimes thankless job requires determination and support from loved ones to make it a success.

lyrics

Date Night

Pushing rows of dirt through the night in a tractor cab
We always said we'd make it, or make the best of what we had
It's been hard work at night, longer through the day
But my baby and I we did it, we had to find a way

Chorus
And it's date night in the combine
Cutting corn by the tractor lights
It's date night in the combine, worth more than all the fights
We've had our fun working all night long

The bank don't care a bit about how hard we work
They don't listen to excuses about the weather or poor dirt
Just make sure the money is sitting in the vault
Or they'll make sure your loans go into default

Chorus
And it's date night in the combine
Cutting corn by the tractor lights
It's date night in the combine, worth more than all the fights
We've had our fun working all night long

Bridge
It wasn't a good year for the crops out in the field
The wheat blew down, the soy burned up and the corn it didn't yield
It wasn't hard to stay in love, even when the barn burned down
I knew I'd still be holding you, many years from now

Chorus
Because it's date night in the combine
Cutting corn by the tractor lights
It's date night in the combine, worth more than all the fights
We've had our fun working all night long

Howdy, my name’s Clem Chesterfield and I’m from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I sing and write songs that some folks say sounds like Old Time Country & Western music. I tip my dusty ole hat to Cowboys and Rebels and everyone that might be an Outlaw by Nature, ya’ll are the true heroes of the Trail I call Life. ... more
