Corn and bean rows, straight and long
A                              D
Put there by my dad, as I rode along
                                        A
He used the Model A radiator cap as his sight
                                           D
Sat straight up in the seat like a bird in flight

D
Quarter-mile, or half-mile, both the same
A                               D
Straight like tracks made for a train
                               A
Best in the County, he proudly knew
                                   D
Line of sight, they faded into the blue

He layed out his life, just like those lines
A                           D
Do it right the first time, wont you?
                                   A
Keep things straight in your life, dont you?
                     G             D
Still apply today in this world of strife
