Lyrics and translation
Original
Granddaddy spent 60 years
Ridin' on that same John Deere
And plowin' this here family ground
'Til the day they both gave out
He said, "Boy, let's take a lap"
I'd climb up on his lap
Before this here turns into yours
There's some things you need to know about
We turn rain into gold, and we turn seeds into somethin'
We turn hard work into cold hard cash, but that ain't nothin'
He turned water into wine, He makes this world turn on a dime
Yeah, the closest you and I can get to God down here on Earth
Is turnin' dirt
Well, when my turn came around
And I laid my own roots down
Me and that girl I was crazy 'bout turned into a family
Now when I turn this tractor west
I can smell the long cut on his breath now
Now I tell his great-grandson the same thing he told me
We turn rain into gold, and we turn seeds into somethin'
We turn hard work into cold hard cash, but that ain't nothin'
He turned water into wine, He makes this world turn on a dime
Yeah, the closest you and I can get to God down here on Earth
Is turnin' dirt
Turnin' dirt
Will turn you into a better man
The same dirt that's here on mine was on his hands
'Cause we turn rain into gold, and we turn seeds into somethin'
We turn hard work into cold hard cash, but that ain't nothin'
He turned water into wine, He makes this world turn on a dime
Yeah, the closest you and I can get to God down here on Earth
Is turnin' dirt
Turnin' dirt
